Thank you! I’ll be having a shop throw this in for me, Some things are best left to the professionals this time around.

I’ll probably end up posting about my experience jumping this big gap (imo). I promised someone somewhere a data log too for my BMS Intercooler.

I’m a bit surprised this thread didn’t get more traction. I feel like a lot of us thrive for black friday deals.

I'd be interested in the BMS intercooler logs, but I have to be honest I don't have high hopes.

Out if all the 5" cores you've sold, it's the only one where people have complained about super high Iats. Especially in a Stage 2/+ application.

Maybe it has less internal fin density?

Well I was worried about the 5” Core, so I bought the Race Version (6.5” Core). The Fin Density looks good overall, I would say the whole intercooler has even density. Few bent fins but wasn’t too hard to pick them straight.

I’ll end up posting Stage 1 Logs between just charge pipe and FBO Stage 1, and Probably throw in some Stage 2+ Runs.

Awesome decision to go with the race version. Keep us posted!
