Default Greddy 31V intercooler good for 400whp?

As the title states I am wondering if the Greddy 31V intercoolers are efficient enough for 400whp.

not too sure.... i run the same intercooler on my sohc. I've heard mixed reviews, but i believe 400 is about the upper limit of what it can flow well.

Those are good to about 400whp, but that is about the limit. The Type 24v is good to over 600hp. That would be a better choice if that is an option to you.

Greddy Tube and fin intercoolers do a very good job of being able make the power needed. They are also much lighter in weight than a louvered bar & plate intercooler. The only drawback is that they need a larger amount of surface area in order to do the massive cooling that louver-finned bar & plate intercoolers, that some other companies use.
