Message Once again, you should stop taking this as an insult.

Now, let's take a look. I've made a table to help you understand what I'm saying.


Intercooler Outlet Temp Horsepower Torque
UAS FMIC 103 431 411
Z1 123 430 412
Stillen 110 427 409
Stock 134 403 375
Z1 Air/Water 125 422 402

Notice the 20 degree difference between the front-mount and the Z1 intercoolers? Why does that translate into only a 1 hp drop and 1 ft/lb tq increase for the Z1 intercoolers?

Now compare the Stillen to the Z1. The Stillen ICs are 13 degrees cooler, but make 3 less hp and 3 less ft/lbs of torque. This just doesn't add up.

It doesn't matter who makes the intercoolers or who sells them - if Coz Ceh made intercoolers and tested them with these results, I'd ask him the same questions.

I included the graphics below for you reference.
