Build your own intercooler poll
I would like to take a survey of how many of you would build your own intercooler if you had prints and a bill of materials for a series II 3800 .

You can fit up to 26" wide if you look at other FMHEs, just be carefull because core sizes are quoted which doesn't include the tanks.

I'd be up for it, what price range are we looking at? For naturally aspirated, its not much of a gain with your intake being so much longer, although the air does has more time to cool...
With ram-air we get about 15*F drop in air intake temperature, what are your thoughts on what we can acheive with this?

N/a cars should be bringing air close to ambient.
If you were to put an intercooler on an n/a car all it would do is slow the air down and reduce performance.
