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?

well, im just saying. you can get a bunch of use out of a ssic and easily make it to the 12s. you dont need an ic to hit 12s, just traction and a cam setup. you just have to tune the crap out of it and tweak everything so it runs optimally for your setup.

im probably going to be running low 13s on a rockered car. but i think its better to build a setup on the side, so im debating putting my car in storage and building it. dont want to run turbo though, blower only. want to stay non-ic too. might run meth. just want big heads and a big cam.

i want a be non-intercooled because i dont want to have to worry about a pump dying on me on a WOT run and my car going boom. i also think the car just runs better and makes more boost without it.
