Q?'s on intercoolers

Im looking to up the performance of my intercooler but only have a few ideas on what i can do to her. Im planning on getting a bigger intercooler radiator and a set of electric fans. Any recs on kits or parts to bolt on for the fans and the radiator? Also what else can i do to up the cooling power? Prices would help too.

thanks yall

Don't know of any intercooler kits for fans and radiator. Flexalite make a wide selection of electric fans. You can also up the capacity of your intercooler system by adding an additional tank. JL sells a kit for this.

Also,
There are no strut bars on these truck. Hotchkis does not have them.

If you wait a few days supposedly Ford is recalling the '99 and '00 intercoolers and replacing it with an '01 style with the extra set of tubes after 9/30/1. You can also add a power cooler that circulates the intercooler antifreeze through tubes immersed in ice and icewater. JL makes one and I just happen to have one for sale that mimmicks his setup except I used 2 heatercores instead of tubing. It sits where the battery is and the battery relocates to the bed or it can be placed in the bed but I would insulates the hoses if you're gonna pump it that distance. Also have a Summit Racing aluminum box for the battery relocation with cables. I estimate it dropped my e.t. by .15-.20 sec.

Truck does have sway bars but no struts. No need or way to install a strut bar.
