A friend of mine replaced his factory cac with a spearco. It dropped his egt by almost 300 degrees, have not heard anything at all about the others.

    Just thought I'd interject.......... Not sure why everyone calls it an "inter-cooler" when what we have is technically a "after-cooler". But if that makes everyone happy then thats fine with me.

    The inter prefix in the device name originates from historic compressor designs. In the past, aircraft engines were built with charge air coolers that were installed between multiple stages of supercharging, thus the designation of inter. Modern automobile designs are technically designated aftercoolers because of their placement at the end of supercharging chain.

    Interesting how we chose to stick with the one insinuating multiple chargers :lmao: Works for me! Air to Air aftercooler sounds just as neat.

    It is interesting. It probably started years ago with some car manufacture unknowingly using the wrong term in their marketing.
