The question of intercooler is very confusing, for instance Bird's 430 hp conversion keeps the OEM intercooler :

Intercoolers are more about warding off heat soak and maintaining power than they are about increasing power.
An upgraded intercooler is essential if you track your car. Neil |

I have tracked the 1M a few times, have at least two more events planned before the end of the year, maybe a few more. To this point I have noticed no over heating or any ill effects from what I can tell and I am tracking in a very hot climate. That said I am not pushing my car anywhere near the limit I am sure some people are. I am new to tracking, and to the 1M. My car is 100% stock right now. Thinking of addressing a few things (square wheels/tires, brake, maybe camber plates to name a few) next year before the track events get rolling in the spring. Should I consider an intercooler as well? Thanks |

The DME is extraordinarily sophisticated and gives the car strong "self-preservation" powers. As intake air temps rise (as they surely will under heavy load at the track), the DME will pull timing -- thereby reducing power -- to keep everything safe. Neil |

I am planning to hit the dyno again soon, this time the only delta being the Forge FMIC, so will provide those details as I have them. FWIW, the last run I had on the stock IC, it clearly ran out of breath in the dyno room conditions (FL weather was certainly no helper), and the power fell off a cliff at the top RPMs, when I am pretty sure with the Forge it will hold it further and that is essentially where you will see 'gains'. Again, it is the ability to keep lower IATs and keep boost steady for longer, thus maintaining the power, as opposed to it being cut short by the DME due to timing retardation.

Also, in addition to timing, the DME dumps more fuel when the temps increase which adversely affect power.

Later on in the fall (probably Oct) will hit the drag strip so I can get some 1/4 miles and trap speeds documented

Nah sorry dude, butt dyno only. But there is data out there. As a lot others have said, feels like there's moar powa at the top of 3rd/4th. But pretty much any quality aftermarket FMIC will feel like this. When i go single turbo in the spring I'll have data

Sorry, not seen my car in a while, travel has been hectic. Should be getting to actual tests (dyno and 1/4 mile drag) hopefully later this month and will update when I have some formal results. I look frwd to them myself!
