Question Heat Exchangers and Intercooler Tanks

Who makes a good aftermarket heat exchanger and intercooler tank? What kind of gains can I expect from these?

Thanks

Both Afco and Fluidyne make larger Heat Exchangers.

The major benefit is seen by roadracers and autocross guys who are at WOT or close for longer periods of time than just a 1/4 mile.

I doubt that you will see any increase in power on a Dyno, the benefit comes from more rapid cooldown after a WOT pass or two.

Yeah I would think for us Florida guys this would help a ton. My Intake temps dropped a ton when I upgraded to an auxillary inline cooler on my Typhoon (daisy chained with stock Charge Air Cooler). I would think it would do the same in the L's
