I'm looking into intercoolers for my 98 cobra with the vortech.

Any reccomendations?

The Paxton one looks pretty cool....

Whatever you do, I'd stay with an air-to-air in intercooler...

does seem to be a nice piece.

I've done a TON of reading on intercoolers/aftercoolers and have determined that I am only going air to air, instead of water to air. Although the aftercooled stuff isn't bad, The air to air route seems MUCH better in so many ways.

Looks like that site wants $1,249 for it...really not bad considering the SHM piece is 1800 bucks. I'm just wondering the compadibility with the vortech?


Thanks for the reply!

Any other suggestions?

if you go with the paxton intercooler, Jim (www.fourvalve.com) might be able to get you a better deal.

i've also talked to fast track about fabricating an intercooler for my 95. they said they'd do it for me. there customer service seemed pretty good so i'll end up going with them when the time comes.
