WOW!!! I went driving this afternoon. I never thought an intercooler would make this much difference. Very impressed. No fan on when I stopped after 2hr hard drive. It always comes on after long drive. Not anymore!!!

Just finished the install. It went well, hardest part was taking the bumper off. I didnt drive after the install because of a bbq. Should be driving tomorrow, wonder how its guna feel.

Finally In

Installed mines this morning. Was'nt too bad after watching the Helix Video. Total install took about 2 3/4 hours, including disconnecting the battery and stepping on the brake. Saw this step in previous forums. Only had one problem, and I still will need to research and figure this one out. While removing the wires from the lights, etc., a small antenna looking thing ( about 2 " long ) popped out from its position in the bumper. I can't figure how it sits back in the passenger side of the bumper. Oh well, I'll research it later, but for now....it's TEST DRIVE time.....

Already?!? We do have another production run planned for mid-fall. I will talk it over with the folks and see if we can add some GB pricing to this run.

In the mean time, we do have intercoolers in stock and ready to ship.
