I know that at the 400RWHP level, the difference between stock intercoolers and the Z1/Stillen/Greddy intercoolers is around 30RWHP. I would expect that given the differences in core size, these ebay intercoolers are only going to give a net gain of about half of that at that power level. The differences would be even greater (to some exponential relationship) at the 500RWHP level, probably constituting around a 40-45RWHP difference if not more. 163% larger ebay vs. stock 250% larger AshSPEC/Z1 vs. stock 263% larger Stillen vs. stock 337% larger AshSPEC MASSIVE vs. stock 263-163 = ~100% difference between the benefit of ebay vs. stock compared to Stillen vs. stock If my statistics education still holds any water, you would expect the ebay ICs to perform about half as well as the other aftermarket intercoolers. Being priced about at about 1/2 that of the other aftermarket ICs would be fitting. [ ashspecz.com ] [ agpowers@bellsouth.net ] Enthusiasts soon understand each other. --W. Irving.
