S2000 Forced Induction S2000 Turbocharging and S2000 supercharging, for that extra kick.

Intercooler size I should run?

What's wrong with getting a good deal? If you can get the same outcome and quality from a $200 part as opposed to a $500 one, why not get the $200 one and save some cash. A lot of the times you are paying for the name not the part itself. As long as you aren't skimping on the quality, it shouldn't matter who or what brand you get.

LOL, yeah im not going to drop x amount of dollars on a part because of the name, if the cheaper priced item, but compairable quality is going to work just as good. Not interested in buying another car also. Thanks for your opinion though, I really appreciate.

Well what are you really looking for in intercooler, something that is going to flow well and has a proper core, correct? I am not buying it just yet but still looking around and reading peoples experience with different parts to see what is best for my budget. I have talked to numerious people who have bought Godspeed Intercoolers and have said they work perfectly well for there setup. Yes maybe a brand name one might give them a few more hp difference, but I don't think its worth the money to spend on something like that. Just my opinion.

Honestly, if I were trying to go cheap on an intercooler and still wanted some resemblance of quality, treadstone would be all Id go for

135.00 for the 600hp intercooler. Fits under the bumper rails too. Can't beat that price from a reputable dealer.

Wow, that is a great deal, for the record Race Part Solutions is my first stop for AN fitting, couplings, clamps, hoses, V-Bands....... These guys are legit!!!!!!

Great Find

+1. Anything sold at Race Part Solutions is quality. If it was a POS they wouldn't sell it. They are great and have never let me down.

The only reason its cheaper is because it doesn't have a brand name. When it comes to intercoolers there really isn't too much labor, R&D or too much cost for anything else other than the materials. Its a very simple part. The main reason a lot of other ones are so expensive is because they can be, because they have the name associated with them.

exactly a big stamp on the top that says RULL RACE...makes it that much more expensive. I understand R&D is associated with that name quality, but for some parts like intercooler piping and intercoolers I dont think there is much to it. Now as far as turbo, wategate, BOV, blah blah thats all brand name stuff im going with.
