What's the price on your IC only? I'm going to order that treadstone one, but I wasn't sure if your was even close in price? You can PM too.

Use the 4" treadstone as its probably one of the best lesser gradr intercoolers

Haha I understand.
If we go by flow inches we are close in price.

1235 part you mentioned 325.50
12.5 x3.5- 43.75 flow area.

Trick Race 3" - 500.00 core only.
23X 3.0 - 69.00 flow area.

Now the way you have your pipes set up your pipes would have to be reworked.
We designed our intercooler to be largest core possible for these trucks with minimal to no hacking the truck up to fit.

They're junk imo.

For all claiming they work just fine spraying a gallon of meth, if you ran on the track with and without the ic id be willing to bet times would be equal or even faster without the ic.
Someone on ls1tech was having trouble making power. China intercooler, meth on pump gas. He bypassed the intercooler for a test, and the car made the same power at the same boost just on meth alone. I think it's actually washer fluid IIRC. I want to say he still made around 600 rwhp. So with that I'd say the intercooler wasn't worth the effort. Maybe higher power levels would be different, but it could also be worse.

Just an update, took the truck to the track yesterday, it was about 75* when I ran it. Iats went from 82* to 108 after the burnout, throught the traps it was well over 190*. Needless to say, I ordered the Treadstone intercooler, the TR1235...

What you fail to mention is that vertical core is not as good as horizonal

Also, you still haven't released who builds your core. Maybe it is a treadstone core. Price is similar to garrett core which is top of the line A/A IC

"Not as good" is subjective in this case.

Wow not as good as what compared to what?
Where did you get that information.
What cores are you comparing?
What is the comparison air temp, boost drop across the core?
You know the difference between a vertical core and a horizontal core.
90 degrees

The only things that matter in a core.
Type of design
Tube length
Flow area ( boosted air path)
Surface area in natural air flow
How it fits the application

If we are comparing price what does a Garrett cost if it was build as large as the ones I offer? I have never checked.

Again, none of the big names build vertical cores unless space limitations. Horizontal is preferred.

The baddest Garrett 28" x 5" IC core is around $700, fully built $1k.

Trick, I'm sure your product is good, but don't compare apples to oranges.
