Is the precision IC bar and plate design? If it is, even though it's smaller, it's more efficient. Precision is a better brand name too, but for IC's that doesn't mean much, it's all about design. Precision gets my vote if it's bar and plate design

hahaha... i saw that intercooler for sale on H-I

it says spearco when you can easily tell that the IC it tube and fin and spearco sells bar and plate

i was gonna say that it was not a spearco one but i was too lazy to sign out of my roomates SN and sign on and type it in
