Default going over intercooler rating? >>

what happens if you go over your intercoolers power rating..

im assuming it just gets less efficient causing higher engine temps and you start blowing **** up, but just checking.

That being said, I've seen 350hp cores, produce numbers well above the rating, with intake temps remaining stable...
