Excessive heat-soak increases the risk of detonation and causes major power-loss due to high charge air and cylinder temperatures. These issues become even more prevalent with spirited driving and\/or increased power outputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PRL Motorsports intercooler upgrade decreases charge air temperatures while increasing potential airflow with its dense 26.5 x 3.5 x 7.25\" 550+ horsepower rated bar-and-plate core. Our intercooler core which increases surface area by 85% and internal flow by 83% to allow optimal cooling and airflow. Billet machined aluminum end tanks maximize efficiency while looking as smooth as they flow! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis intercooler utilizes factory mounting spots with our billet machined end tanks as well as all factory air ducts\/shrouds.
