Message	so as too show the point at which flow restriction becomes significant? That data along with the efficiency tests will help determine when an IC is working for you. It would seem that at boost pessures of 1, 5 & 10 psi, levels commonly produced in normal driving, enhanced flow might not be required as the stock unit might be capable of handling this. It would be interesting to see what the enhaced flow performace and cooling efficiency of an aftermarket IC does for a car boosting up to 15 psi., a common boost level max. Keeping in mind that this max level of boost pressure is only realized ocassionally and that most of the time boost pressures are lower in street driven cars. I believe the test above were conducted at 25psi only.
