Ditch the Procharger Intercooler????
I haven't done any research in a while so I'm wondering about the feasibility of getting rid of my stock LT1 procharger intercooler and getting something more efficient.
Years ago people just started talking about water/alky spray.
What are people doing these days? At the track my stock Procharger IC gets so damn heat soaked it's pointless.

Absolutly do not get a N2o spary bar. That is a waste of time, money and N2o. If you are looking to get rid of the intercooler get meth/inject system. There are a few forum sponsors that offer a very nice kit that will bolt up in a few hours or less.
If you do get rid of the intercooler be prepared to possibly have to get a larger blower pulley as you will most likely be getting a few more psi of boost. If the motor is not prepared properly you may end up with detonation and possible engine damage.

Thanks, and I agree. I'm not spraying this IC with N20 or C02. I know a lot of guys do that successfully but thats on a car that has an efficient IC to begin with.
You can put lipstick on a pig but it's still a pig.
That's interesting what you say about the blower pulley size. I know that pressure drop has been mentioned before with the stock IC. I am running the stock 8psi pulley right now. What I'll do is change the pill in my MSD to a low RPM and see how high I can get the boost. If it's too high I'll change my pulley out.
Thanks for the heads up on that!
