Stupid to run non Intercooled in any forced induction.
Maybe a stock 9.4:1 4.8/5.3 tune with a dead on tune could get away with a few 5-6psig.
Op ur asking for trouble running non intercooled on a 10:1 lq9

 

This is what happend when you rock a little too much bling. Recovered an hour later also minus my half my interior and a very long list of other things. Engine was half unbolted all mods gone.

I work in the hood. This is my daily truck for work. It would not last very long if an intercooler was visible.

I think it's pointless as most of the time it will be in heavy traffic hardly any air flow through an intercooler anyways.

 

That sux, where do you live man?

 

I'm running a non-intercooler setup only because I didn't have the money at the time. My IATs are easily 155*-160* during part throttle pulls in the summer. Needless to say I will be adding an IC in a couple of weeks.

 

That was in las vegas. I am in Boston now and it's just as bad. Since 03 It has been stolen twice and broken into 3 times. Pager alarm the whole works jimmy jammers were no match for a hole saw. Nothing works when your truck is in a parking structure a mile away.

 

^^^^this makes me think of all kinds of devious **** to sabotage any would be thief. ""hole saw activated shotgun"" or ""door handle grenade"" .
i hate seeing this and all i can say is i hope these scumbags get a healthy dose of kharma. oh and my vote is i/c with black spraypaint. good luck

 

I'm right there with you but that's a good way to get sued/prison Have you thought about installing one of those buttons that you have to hold down every time you start your truck? I thought about hiding one of those in my steering wheel control buttons.
