Thread: Guess my 1/4 and whp with these mods.

SSIC
Big FMHE w/ a custom halo spraying co2
SLP Headers
XP Cam w/ 105 springs
Poly Uppers
4" HAI
Cutout
Should be a good tune
103's?
Appropriate pulley (3.0?)

What does everyone think of this setup?

Skip the SSIC and C02 spray and go with the full size IC core. Really, the big front mount and spray won't do much when it comes to that dinky core, the core is small and will heat soak no matter what. You can only do so much with a pump that runs a few gallons per minute.

tell me you know this for sure. your sig does not reflect that youve been intercooled in any way. with enough fluid, the ssic does just fine. its just that most people see the step up to a fullsize being an extra $2-300 and just jump on it since its that much better.

S2 cores can be had for $400 these days. If he's looking for consistant 12's, most people are not happy with SSIC at that level. The proven tested temperature drops are around 80 degrees, vs. 140 degrees on a full size. The largest FMHE you can buy will not lower the air temps of that intake charge, it just helps so that you don't cycle through water fast enough that it doesn't have time to cool down to do its job. For the money involved in Intercooling altogether, I just think the SSIC is a waste at that level of mods. Your going to be pulling timing and probably run a 3.0 pulley, with race gas either more timing or 2.8 pulley.

There is not too many people out there running 12's with a SSIC...

I ran that 14.0 with stock manifolds, dp and mail order tune, I have a stg2 IC, ported LIM, fully ported S/C, N*, Pacesetters and other stuff but I'm waitin on fuel rails and a cam, college tuition and books are no joke... But why should that matter?
