    ZZP LIM does not support a full size Intercooler just a crappy short stack. If you go that route you are limiting yourself down the road.

    I'm running a l26 block, l32 heads, VS cam, full Intercooler etc... Haven't blown it yet. Not sure how much weaker the rods/pistons are in a l26. Have heard there were failures but don't no if only issue was the piston/rod combination or if tuning and knock were involved.

    I run no knock on 93 octane.

    Isnt the short stack the same as the full stack intercooler except shorter? What would be limiting me?
