[Mike]

Someone give me the straight poop here. In the pre Supty Dupty years what will adding an intercooler gain me?

Mike, an intercooler will help you with EGT's , they are very efficient under load you can get down to 20* above ambient temp, If ya got bigger injectors all that extra fuel will cause high egt's . I think puttin one in would be a ***** though

Depends on which one you get.
Some guys are using the '99 up I/C's and say they are great while others swear by Hypermax...........

Adding intercooler will help out greatly if you plan to get some serious hp out of your truck, especially if you like your exhaust valves were they are. Guy on site i've been on put one in his.

At the current time I'm not looking to make 400+ RWHP. A set of Baby Swamps would be nice but I know full well that would also involve a call to BTS. I was just pondering the fact that you see quite a few folks in the 94-97 class adding intercoolers, its a 750-1000 dollar mod and I wondered what there was to gain. Currently my EGT's run no more than 1150*F when I'm pulling the snot out of it. I think I can find a better place to toss a grand than an on an intercooler, at least until I can no longer control my EGT's.

Thanks guys,

Mike
