That is good to know, so it pretty much looks like a larger IC seems to be the way to go. so other than a booster,it does little to nothing on the cooling aspect.#7

I increased the power to 900hp and really had to address the intercooler problem. The factory pump only pumps out 9gpm. Not enough. You need at least 13gpm to effectively cool the factory 638hp accompanied by a larger HEX. A pump alone will not do anything. The HEX that came with my ZR1 is the same dinky size that Magnuson supplies for my Escalade. 6" x 20" x 7/8" thick. Obviously not large enough for the power made. I worked with an engineer that specializes in cooling systems for supercharged/turbo'd engines. He told me you need at least 13gpm to cool 600 crank HP. So on my supercharged Escalade, GMC sierra Denali, and ZR1 I installed a 20gpm pump and much larger HEXs that I designed. They do such an effective job, you don't even need a reservoir, so I just keep the Magnuson reservoir in place. Also, you MUST use a water/water wetter solution with no glycol (antifreeze). Antifreeze will actually make the temperature rise due to its ineffectiveness to dissipate heat effectively like a water/water wetter solution does.
