Whaz up Ratman its me Cave.

Three years ago I got the richard lees with the
whipple cupranickel cores. They are more durable
a higher melting point then the alumminum.
Beleave it?? They can melt. according to Dustins site
they produce better chilling due to the metal used.
copper being a better conductor/ dissipator then alluminum.

Randy at Cobra just informed me that the aluminum cores
actualy produce better Hp on the dyno.

With this recent info I can only say what I have I would use
again and until I can actualy compare the two myself
I dont know.

Maybe some Engine builders like JC, Mesa, Mrhorsepower1
can shed some light.

Give KE a call. He does a core that is less restrictive, a two pass design, cooper/nickel and supposedly more durable.

Ratman,

We only make an aluminum core for our intercooler. However, K.E. / Hardin marine makes a cooper-nickle replacement core that fits our housing. We have found the same thing that the aluminum core makes more power, but the cooper-nickle is much more durable. We have not personally tested the K.E. core ourselves, so I can't give you any info on it's efficiency. I am sure if you called K.E. they could provide that info for you.

Hope this help,
