I vote for Champion intercoolers . The difference in power between GIAC stage 1 and stage 2 are a testament to their effectiveness.

I honestly feel none of us truly know what's the best. Unless we take a car that has a standalone and test all of these setups on the same car, same day, same conditions and look at the logs that's the only true way.

None of the above as there is no evidence to support their worth or to prove they work.


I would use a proper core or 997.2 IC but you already have these.


P.S. Intercoolers don't give you peak HP they stop your car from being robbed of power by keeping your IAT's down for as long as possible.

Yes you got a point, that's why I ask about the whp to have some point of reference, but who is best is a little difficult to masure 100%

Well there is some prove out there (whp, trap speed, etc) not 100% prove but help to decide...

So you will stick with the stock ones? Why?

Yes, but the result of what you said equal whp

The bigger the core the better??? So a 5" core is better that the 3.5" core?
