The way I have been plumbing my intercoolers was
force fed. Meaning no flow at idle and I never had a problem.
I am wondering if when you dedicate a stage to the intercooler then feed it water at idle. Perhaps this causes
the fuel to puddle and then ignites.

Presto how do ya want ya steaks done!

That is what I was told. Supposedly the EFI do fine with pressure but the Carbs don't do as well and like to be force feed or only minimal h2o at idle.
I have seen and used some setups that were force feed but also with a small -6 coming off of the belhousing coolers for a little water at idle.

So who would you say makes a better intercooler for a roots blower that is carbureted? KE? SuperChiller? TheBlowerShop? Who?

I would run the cupranickel cores KE's and whipples got them.

The baddest Intercooler is the Whipple MOAC.

It stands for Mother of All Coolers

This is my dilema. I have had excellent results with the
non "force feed method" But Most of the Big engine guys
are now running a stage just for the chiller.

Knot-right, KE did some comparitive tests on his dyno a while back. You might give him a call and see if he would share with you the differences he saw. I think his package may be hard to beat.

Actualy I have had several conversations with KE over the last few days in regards to the intercooling plumbing.
I was told he dedicates a single stage of the water pump to the intercooler to run at all times.

I stand with the whipple.

I have run my own boat both ways.I have run it force fed and with a seapump stage pushing it through.The idle quality on the force fed is great.I have not had any issues with my intercooler and it wasnt the Cupernickel core.Both carbureted and at 10 lbs. or more.

Knot-rite I was actually refering to the hp generation and efficiency of his core vs the competition. I have KE coolers and they are pressure fed. How you supply it with water is decision. I know KE likes to use a single stage but I am like you and prefer to restrict flow at idle.

Jeff Last season the old setup was 10-71 Monneys overdriven
at 18% with the Lee intercoolers and cupra cores.
Force fed Intercooler.
Ran flawless

So why Screw with it? Because of some of the horror
storys of PSI,s Eating Intercoolers.
I,m thinking the PSI,s need the xtra cooling at low engine speeds (high vacuum). Thats why whipple added the
Blower bleed ports. (screw charger)
I have been instructed by Roger at PSI to start anywhere
from 35 to 45 percent over to achieve what the mooneys
were running. (12LBS).
Roger stated that the melting of the intercooler is directly
related to Sucking the carb bowls dry.

After diassembly I noticed the intercooler was showing
discoloration towards the rear. This was with the Monneys.

Here is a picture with the new PSI adapter plate.

I know quit my whining and bolt it on and Just get Ratman
to throttle it!
