Drivetrain GP Intercooler
Holy smokes, you really brought back the dead on this one. It was funny to read this thread about $800 something for a gp intercooler and other's noting how the parts will get more rare and thus more expensive. Now we know 3 years later that the price is a 'reasonable' $450.
Since Zombies seem to be all the rage, might as well raise this thread once more:
Finally got a GPIC for my car, for those of you that don't realize that even the simple things can have an effect on your tune, here you go, two pulls on the exact same day, before and after the I/C change:
(RPM / AFR)


An avg. jump of .7 on my AFR, It does work great, esp. for everyday driving, because of the faster recovery time, but IMO, if your "tuned" check with your tuner before you add this, if your up in the higher ranges of your AFR already .7 can be a big deal. If your stock this won't be a problem at all. It did change some minor timing things as well, but nothing the ECU couldn't handle all by itself, tuned or not. Just thought I'd share this as food for thought.
