Bigger, more efficient Intercoolers
Can any of the smart guys here tell me if a bigger intercooler will reduce or increase the EGTs? I would think that it would cool the EGTs yet on the other hand you are condensing the air which will result in a more powerful air charge to the cylinder which should result in higher EGTs since more fuel is being burned...right? Please help me my head hurts.

It's actually called an after cooler. You would decrease your egts with a more effecient after cooler. Not sure who makes the best one or even how much better it would be than the stocker, but there is always room for improvement.

I could out of my mind altogether, which wouldn't surprise me at all. Perhaps someone that has an aftermarket intercooler will chime in.

I'm no expert myself, but I'm told (by engineers that I trust) that the stock intercooler is very efficient to about 40 lbs of boost and really doesn't become much of a hindrance until you see 50 lbs regularly. The guys that are running twins should see pretty significant gains with going to a bigger, more efficient intercooler. If you stay at 50lbs or below, you will see a gain depending on how the new intercooler is built inside, but it will be minimal and probably not worth the cost. Have you priced an aftermarket intercooler lately? $700+. Ouch.

So for a single what I have is plent and with twins I would be better off with a bigger more efficient unit. Thanks. One more question, I know that Banks will be coming out with one but I thought somone on here said that BD was coming out with one as well. I am just trying to build the truck right a little at a time so when I have it all together it is setup correctly. Thanks for the info.

BTW, clutch is going strong, still hard to shift, but I'm blaming that on the "nature of the beast." My engine, however, has had better days

Ck out Haisley Machine
Haisley has a 100psi intercooler advertised. Different prices for different years. '05s are the most expensive since you have to exchange what you have and let's face it,..'05s don't have much to exchange. No offense. Anyway the 100psi is miles ahead of the stockers which are rated at 30psi. Of course many of us push that to 40 daily so who knows. I don't have a Haisley and am not pushing them, but I've heard good things about their products. Maybe someone who has one will chime in. Ck 'em out at haisleymachine.com

Signature600,
You might be mixing me up with another user, the only 99 model I had was a Furd PSD with an Auto and I sold it to get my 04 model. I am talking about intercoolers not clutches. I think our wires are crossed.
That unit looks very nice but at that price that better produce some very efficient airflow!!WOW thats a hefty price. Thanks for the info.

I have an idea about putting an additional intercooler in the winch spot on my Road Armor bumper. There is a local company here that builds these for many companies all over North America and we just happen to know the owners.
I better get back to finishing the add a pod today.
See Scotty Run.
and trip.
