intercooler questions

i am considering going intercooled but i have a few questions

first i know the ZZP short stack IC isnt preferred but if i could get one for $250 should i?

also how hard is this to install into a 99 GTP?

(this is gonna sound dumb) what makes the pump work, is it electric?

it seems really straight forward a lot like the engine coolent system ive replaced pretty much all of that on these cars before, id just like to hear from some people who've already done it thats all
 


Just there are better options than the SSIC. You might as well pick up a IC from sseimnop seeing you will have much larger gains, and safety net
 
ok i understand that bigger intercoolers will give you more power and what not but what are the problems with the ZZP SSIC besides the lack of gains?

Bingo.

"Skip the Short Stack. Save your money and buy at least a Stage 2. The Short Stack is half the price, but you get what you pay for. They heat soak very quickly and are just not really thick enough to do any good, plus they have had warping issues."
 
i have searched there wasnt much that came up a lot of pages on here have dead links on them and that page doesnt really adress SSIC all it says is dont buy one but spending 1300 on a stage 2 IC isnt really doable at all
 


Then dont go intercooled unless your going for big mods. if you dont have a grand to spend on a Stage 2, then dont buy one.
 
if you buy a SSIC for 250 youre still gonna have to get the fittings, heat exchanger, ect.... and assuming you get it new itll be close to a grand...

a stage 2 has more advantages than just "more power" (technically its better at dropping temps not increasing hp) and is a way better investment...
 
well id get everything except for the hoses for 250, im not going for big mods the goal is 300hp at the crank
 
the only think stopping me from going intercooled is the price of fuel rails, though my car is not modded to much at all yet
