It does not replace the intercooler. It cycles the intercooler fluid through the unit where a/c refrigerant is cycled through and chills the intercooler fluid. You still need the intercooler to cool the air or there is no purpose to having the Killer Chiller. Nah mean?

I just added a V2 blower and im running 4.10's and ill tell ya i love it. I have the meth but im not tuned for it right now, im waiting for it to heat up before we do it. Right now i can go 15-30 minutes and am still not getting any heat soak when we did my dyno tune we had to even let the car sit for a while running to get it to optimal temperatures. (this is with a 180tstat but tuner said it was opening around 170+) this was in 60 degree weather though.
Never ridden in a KB or nitrous car though so i have no opinions there just adding what my experience was. GL

Yeah, when I was at ~8psi on my stock motor and procharger it felt awesome compared to when I was just minor boltons....then I drove a new edge with a 9psi KB. I was ver jealous. Right when I got home I ordered a smaller pulley.

Yeah, when my nitrous hits a 3k it can be a real handful with these 3.90's. It's a blast for sure, but it would be a bit too much if it was like that all the time.
I have driven both a 2001 Procharged gt with 3.73's and a 2003 KB gt with 3.73's as well. They both had similar rwhp (both around 400rwhp) and the KB gt was way more fun. Although it had definite traction issues.
I just wonder with my cams, 3.90's, and a little more hp than the other two gt's, if the Vortech/meth setup might be a little more suitable in general.
