Default Intercooler came off results.

Okay men, I run a MAP compared to your MAS. I just deleted my Vortech intercooler/aftercooler from my system and introduced straight h2o injection from my 50/50 w/m. My wot a/f's dropped from 13.2 to 12.2. My boost also dropped from 11.5 to 10 lbs@wot. Comments?

Also, I thought it had been documented that there is 1-2psi drop across a I/C. How come you seemed to of LOST 1.5 lbs after taking the I/C OFF? Shouldn't you of gained that in psi?

me too- I would have thought you'd gained at least 1/2 - 1 psi of boost by removing the ic. Did you do anything else to it?
I thought I read somewhere you were adding headers and maybe opening up the exhaust did you?

Would that really effect boost on a S/C though? I know a free'er flowing exhaust will let the engine breath better but what's the correlation with boost pressure?
