OMG! this is what i get when i tell this guy i'm gonna stick with my desicion of Procharger and ask him to tune it for me.
I understand you being caught up with Prochargers marketing campaign
and wanting an intercooler. That just means they did their job..
I have been tuning and driving mustangs for over 10yrs.. From the
beginning, I have never used an intercooler. Mainly because the class
I competed in, EFI Renegade, didn't allow them. We would make upwards of 35lbs of NON INTERCOOLED boost with temperatures seeing over 300degrees at the intake manifold.
If you were going with over 15lbs of boost, I would suggest an
intercooler. But, you are looking at an entry level kit which will only make about 8-10lbs. The air charge difference between the 2 kits from Intercooled to non intercooled is MINIMAL. Bascially, an intercooler is there as a restriction, but procharger knows how to market. Also, the impeller design of the procharger created A LOT more heat vs the impeller design of a vortech creates more POWER.. Vortech has always been know to be a ENGINEERING based company vs procharger being a marketing company. That's how it is on the racing circuit.
Anyways, I wanted to give you ALL THE FACTS before you jump into a
decision. One other thing is the self contained thing.. the prochargers ALWAYS leak. I can put you in touch with MANY customers of mine who made the mistake you did..
