Joe,
I know years ago that the only aftermarket intercooler for the powerstrokes was a banks, I've never really looked that much into it. Are there better aftermarket options now? I wonder if any of them have released any real world numbers on the flow?

I've always worried about pushing intercoolers, We dont REALLY know what the efficency of the factory units are, we know at around what level we can see improvement from an intercooler, but are the aftermarket intercoolers a decent investment flow wise?

The end all best on the market for the 7.3... Hypermax

Close second IMHO would be the spearco...
Then the ATS core and so on... after hypermax there all about the same...

But, the hypermax one will set you back about 1600!

Because its HUGE! it fills every avalable space in the front of the truck!

Spearco is good, more then likely it will be what I get at some point... But Diesel Inovations makes a good one, ATS makes a good one, DeputyDog has one he sells... For the most part, the lower the price the lower the drop in EGT... Not a knock against any of the products, just seems to be how it works.

I want to stick with a stock sized 7.3 becasue it is teh largest I can put in and still close the hood and keep the A/C.

I'm at 60psi now but thats without the I/C so I bet i see 50 or so with one.
