Just curious to see how much rwhp intercoolers add rwhp wise to us 96-98 gt owners. I have a sq trim. planning on putting a paxton a/a intercooler on. I know it cools temps a lot, allowing more boost to be run, but how much rwhp are they generally good for?
did you guys see that episode of HP TV? They had that vortech on a GT and then in a later episode added the cooler and gained 15rwhp. They also said the gains would be more if you were on the highway driving the car.
damn they play it pretty often :dunno: it was a Black GT ( Joes personal car ) they put on the vortech and had 287rwhp i think.....then a few weeks later they did a show on adding the cooler and ran the dyno again and had 302rwhp.
cool, so talking to guys i can get anywhere from a 15-40rwhp gain, depending on boost levels and such...not a bad pickup!!
Actually, adding an intercooler will add nothing unless you utilize the cooler IAT, by adding more total timing or boost. See ya Plummer
