Obviously go with the JRC 8" intercooler, flows better, way cheaper, taller which leaves room for upgrades

Upgrade something else, go with a stainless d/p or invest it in some tuning

Why waste money when it isnt necessary

precision definitely flows better than jrc, look at the cores. I was/am thinking about getting a jrc 8" but i dont know how efficiently it will support over 400hp....

the 6" went over 400whp, the 8" will go higher

Your paying for the prescion name. Paying ALOT

Well, saying an intercooler can go over a certain amount of hp is great but IAT temps make a difference also.

true, from looking at the cores, one can assume that the jrc cools quite well, given the fin density. of course, it might not be as free flowing as the precision core.

so i guess you could look at it like this.

buy the jrc, save a few bucks and run a tad bit more boost to make up for the pressure drop (which is which is around .5)

buy the precision, pay out the ***, get an even lower pressure drop than jrc, something around .2psi, oh, cant forget teh cool precision logo on the endtanks, lol

i've had both a 6 inch johnnyracecar and now i have a precision 350 hp capable IC.
the johnnyracecar was fine... but the material was soooo thin and weak.. i remember the fins could bend with the slightest touch pretty much- i remember pulling it out of the packaging.. having the fins hit the carboard box.. and then denting a bunch of fins...
the precision IC however is very heavy duty... I definately think i could bend the JRC IC in half if i felt like it.. but i doubt i could with the precision IC


keep in mind this was an older JRC, but people have said the newer ones are nicer.... but i have yet to see it...
