Those are excellent results. Lets thank ZZP for all their research from several years ago, that allowed us to find cheap, effective ways of intercooling. Thanks ZZP for spending the money on Actual Research.

that always made me laugh...
i wonder if zoomer got the IC idea from weiland who started installing it on their blown powerboat engines in the late 70's and early 80's ( i got to see one of these a while back in hawaii, an 8-71 blower on a 460 BBF with an IC that was basically a small brass and copper car radiator, built in 1982)
now that was a massive air to water IC to fit under an 8-71 blower...i guess he was the only one to think about making a smaller IC for smaller engines...oh wait both weiland and BDS had those in the early 90's...hmm maybe he was the first to put an air to water IC on a V6... oh wait, it was the marine/jet boat guys that did that first...
i do give em credit for research and testing on 3800's though, and making them cost effective to attract customers.
which continues to this day, with other companies...and thanks to competition...products are always improved, and the consumer wins...
i should shutup right now...but! do you think i'm the first guy to think of swapping heads from one engine to another and changing the camshaft to do it?
nope, it's been done before but not on a GM 3800... :lolsign:
