VRSF 1000whp 7.5" Race FMIC Pre-order Now Available!

We finally finished up production on our race intercooler and after extensive testing on some incredibly fast cars we're finally ready to offer a pre-order for our new 7.5" stepped race intercooler.

The new ultra high density intercooler is 134% larger than the OEM intercooler @ a total of 1080 cubic inches & it's rated for over 1000whp. This is the best solution for any customer running upgraded turbos who is looking for an incredibly efficient intercooler at a reasonable cost without sacrificing quality.

We're expecting these to arrive in stock within the next 4 weeks and will be offering introductory pricing directly on our website.

Results:

We've had a few beta testers in the 650whp+ report fantastic results with 3rd gear pulls (22-30 psi) averaging a 0-1 degree rise, 4th gear pulls in the same boost range are 3-4 degrees. 2-4 gear pulls are showing no IAT increase from 2nd through 3rd with a 7 degree overall rise into 4th.

Below is an example of a car running more boost (35 psi) at a much higher HP level (790whp) showing a rise of 11 degree rise in 4th gear. This car also noticed a significantly lower overall pressure drop due to the increased flow of the much larger core.

A monster.

I'm curious about the mounting and fitment. Surely you don't have 15+ lbs of intercooler hanging off those two crummy factory sheet metal screws threaded into plastic which hold up the stocker?

How much gouging, grinding and cutting is necessary to make it fit?

Those are the only two mounts and they have proven to work well on multiple beta models. There's only a bit of vertical cutting. It's a tight fit but there isn't much more cutting than a conventional 7" install.

So you just stacked and welded together two of your usual cores? Thats what it looks like.

All stepped intercoolers by design are two intercoolers. We use a significantly denser fin pack on the Race and HD cores which translates to better intake temp control and faster recovery times.
