Time for an intercooler. Need suggestions

[The Big Al]

Well I noticed today my upper intake gaskets are leaking pretty bad. Car is a 2000 GTP btw. I already have some speed daddy's and a Gen V that I've been needing put on. I figure this is as good of a time as any to put the Gen V on it. Also planning to intercool it while I'm at it. So what FSIC do you guys recommend? I'm not biased to any particular brand. Just looking for one that's fairly easy to install with little to no clearance issues. So what do you guys suggest? Thanks

there is no other intercooler I would consider than this one:

all of the intercoolers are going to be a good amount of work. I'm not sure how much you know, so I'll give you more info than you may or may not need. there are basically 5 components in an intercooler system. the intercooler core, the front mount heat exchanger, the pump, the wiring and the hoses. mounting the intercooler itself is probably the easiest part because it just sits in between the supercharger and the lower intake manifold. you will need modified fuel rails and a longer supercharger belt, and you will need to adjust something so the belt clears the coil pack mount. the heat exchanger bolts to the frame in front of the radiator, and depending on which heat exchanger you get, you may need to make the brackets yourself. there are a lot of different ways and places to run the coolant lines and pump.

agreed, Ed's Intercooler is top notch, and more fins per inch in the core than any competitor

i also got one of eds ic's got it used, works perfectly. best part is the pcv holes all work on both sides of it. no modding needed for the pcv to work properly.
