I think they might have that data already. Casey?

Scott you said you have 719 hp now, which is alot IMO! At that high of a hp do you think it will be a challenge to pick up much hp with just IC's? I know TPC does a before and after dyno so you will definately know. Scott what mods does your car have now to get to the 719 hp.

Rep Power: 787 719 was made at 1.5 BAR on race fuel (104 octane). My primary reason for the IC swap is to pick up more power on 93 octane. Since I can't run very much boost on 93, I need to optimize flow the best I can.
I don't actually know how much power it'll make on 93 now (never dyno'd it with that fuel), but whatever is...I want to increase it. Other than the occasional track day, I want to run 93 or 100 octane from the pump only.
I think the only weak point in my setup is the ICs...so I'm hoping we see a measurable increase with the swap.
The good thing is that whatever increase we see at low boost levels, should translate at higher boost levels as well.

Current power setup is hybrid TO4B turbos, Protomotive intake, Proto headers, 60lb injectors, piggy-back fuel pump, welded together stock ICS, and Switzer exhaust.

We have the same turbos but I went with 4.5 inch IC on my setup. I'm eager to see how much power you pick up.

Yep, we'll do before and after for sure.

That car is tuned really well... one way to really check is to pressure test at the turbos before they dyno... make sure the car is sound.... do the baseline then repeat with the new ICs...
just a thought,
good luck

Scott, how do you classify these dual pair GT2 ICs that you have now? Would you say they are similar/equivalent to 3.5 inchers? 4 inchers?

We have done a few back to backs and but it really varies depending on the level of modifications a car has. We have a german 997 gt2 client that just installed a set on his(stock other than exhaust) car and it made ~30-40 mid range hp until the stock computer pulled it back in the top range. We will do full before and after dynos including video of all runs. Going to be an interesting project for sure.
We are very proud of our new proprietary cores. We have an article coming out in excellence in the next month or 2 regarding our 775Blitzkrieg car which features these intercoolers.
Please feel free to ask any questions you might have.

Peter,
No, I won't be attending. Taking the wife to Cancun instead.
