No, that's because he won't notice a damn thing. Going from a small air/air front mount intercooler to an air/water intercooler mounted behind the passenger seat inside the car there was zero discernable difference in spool from a bunch of logs we took, on a relative of mine's Camaro. Think of how fast the air is moving. Couple hundred feet per second, and at 250 WHP that's like 25 pounds per minute of air. A pound of air at SATP is approx. 624 litres of volume. 624 x 25 = 15600 litres per minute. 260 litres per second. Tell me he's going to notice a 2, 3, 4 litre increase in size. A percent and a half increase in volume? Yeah, right. Other than radiator blockage, bigger almost always IS better with intercoolers.
