Default Is aftercooler really that good?......

Does the A/C setup heatsoaks after just a coulple of runs and wont recuperate quickly??

I contacted LoveFab a coulple of weeks ago and he is willing to sell me the intercooler he uses on his turbo as a kit.

Which would you prefer and why??

Not sure which actually cools better, but I like the aftercoolers better. Less distance to travel means less pressure lose.

Edit: In Tampa with my setup on a 90 degree day my intake temps hover around 120.

I'm pretty sure the Lovefab intercooler is just a Precicion "600HP" unit with the cast endtanks. If you want to stick witha Air-water I/C then Precision also sells custom cores. I'm sure Cody can fab up some end tanks for it. But I'd go with a FMIC, just as a personal preference for a street car.

Yes, but you have the benefit of the Spearco AC radiator!!

Does that aftercooler radiator even have any proven gains? I havent seen much about it, only the website saying "insures coolest air."

Proven...I have no idea, but I doubt that they are much if any at all. Pay me and I'll find out
