A few intercooler questions for the guys in the know. What does the MagnumPowers front mounted intercooler actually do in terms of horsepower? Looking at the details it provides a claimed 300 hp or something there abouts and the implication is that the 70 or 100 hp rwhp gain is from the Intercooler all alone...reading the fine print I see things about various other things to make the car breath better... all in all I found the description rather confusing.
Anywho, 2 questions:
1) Are intercoolers directional? That is to say, could you reverse the inlet and the outlet?
2) How much of an increase in power do you get from the magnum powers intercooler vs. a double intercooler?
They make a big point of how much better theirs breaths, but I have serious doubts that it breaths $1200 or there abouts better than buying a 2nd used intercooler and getting it welded.
If anyone is feeling like doing some more significant typing, I understand that the intercooler is used to decrease the temperature of the air going into the supercooler thus allowing a significantly greater quantity of air to get sucked in, can anyone provide more detail?
