Default Intercooler Upgrade Done! MORE PICS and SC Video

Alright, I've been working on it for a few hours now. I've got the new intercooler mounted and piping run to it. Made 4 brackets to mount it. Fit snug, but it's in. Now I just need to go back out and start the car and make sure she flows good.

Here is a picture of the procharger intercooler I had on there and the new cxracing intercooler. The cxracing one has a bigger fin surface than the procharger. It might be hard to tell in the pic.

Supercharger Video and exhaust note!!
It seems to have a slightly different exhaust note since the intercooler upgrade. Sounds lower now. Even meaner, lol.

I'm pretty much done with the SC stuff now. I've got a smaller pulley to put on it, but I'm going to re-dyno tune it with the current one on there, then put the smaller one on, so I can compare the two.

Also got my moser 31 spline axles are sitting in the garage now. My Eaton 31 spline LSD and install kit is on it's way. Aluminum driveshaft(add on, lol) is coming soon(not purchased yet), I have a new upper radiator hose coming from coolflex, due next week, a new upr products radiator cover. I bashed mine 2 days ago(got mad and hit it with a wrench, plus it was scratched anyways, lol), and gee let's see, that's it.

Oh yeah, I'm finally getting my remote for my Air Bag system. GEESH only 5 months late, lol.

It's $875 cheaper, lol. That's how it compares.

CXRACING INTERCOOLER

Inlet: 3"
Outlet: 3"
Compress Air Flow Rate: <700Cubic Feet/Min, Rated to600-700 Max HP
Working Pressure: 35~40PSI
Pressure Drop: 2~5psi@35psi; 0.2~0.5psi@15psi

If you notice the pressure drop is only 0.2-0.5 @ 15psi. I'll be running I think around 12psi. So sh*it I'll pretty much have no pressure drop, lol.

[hr]
I'm not sure on the spec for the procharger 3-core
I know it's a bar and plate design as well. That's what you want is a bar and plate design core.

Is that the 2-core intercooler? I swear mine looks like double that size.
