Default drag3 intercooler efficiency

how much whp are the standard drag3 intercoolers capable above before they start to lose efficiency. i know outside temps play a big role so lets just say 60-70 degrees outside

Bump. I'm curious if anyone has "real world" numbers.

A local friend made 342whp with his Drag III intercooler but I think the most I have seen is 375whp and I am not even sure if he still had the Drag III intercooler.

I used this intercooler for the whole season of racing. The intercooler worked great and the car was making 355WHP.

My old spearco/drag intercooler was a 22x6.5x2.25 core and put out 330whp. Usually in the upper 300's they start to lose efficiency.

A good rule of thumb is you want at least a 24x8x3 core when looking at 400-500ish whp.

Drag uses spearco's for their kits.

Tyler made 400.2whp on his turbo LS with a DRAG FMIC and DRAG piping. it's maxed out, efficiency-wise.
