Merlin540, you would benefit the most, you probably have a manifold air temp near 260 degrees on a 90 degree day. Puttting the intercooler on and putting a seperate pickup for the intercooler, you'll pick up about 25-35hp but will lose approx. 1.5lbs. of boost. So, you then want to get the boost up near 11lbs. and you should see approx. 85-100hp increase which would make a huge difference in the boat. Reliability will be much higher.

Dueclaws, your motor can do the same, but you need to run more boost. Installing the intercooler will net you only 5-10hp and boost will come down near 4lbs. Your discharge temp now is probably around 180. You can then get your boost up near 8lbs. where you can pick up another 100hp pretty easily.

When I talk about just installing the intercooler, it only adds a slight amount of power by increasing the density of the air, the advantage is to increase boost pressure, possibly spark advance and possibly leaning the air fuel ratio out.

Tomcat, yes, the copper is better at removing BTU's. It's well over 25% of the Superchiller because of mainly the design of the core then added material benefit. I'll check what we got and get back with you, but I know I don't have that exact size.

Thanks,
Dustin
