Hey Brian, one thing is for sure. With those fantastic aftermarket heads and ported LS3 intake you have along with a Maggie, you would own any car with an ECS or A&A blower kit.

Another thing for me is I couldn't buy just the bracket. ECS wanted to sell me the whole kit . I had everything else.

Last I heard you ditched your A&A intercooler for an ECS cooler? Miller did the same thing? Albert has his A&A system for sale and bought an ECS system to go faster!

But what I don't see or hear are ECS guys buying A&A parts, I could be wrong though!

I did indeed ditch my A&A intercooler. Not because it was bad though. It would have been ok for a guy making the kind of power you make. However, when you start making man power above 800 Wheel, the A&A intake dont cut it without dumping a crap load of meth into it.

Oh so the A&A intercooler is only really good till 750-800hp? So what does A&A do for the Big Boys that want to make big power, Call ECS?

I'm glad I have one of those ECS coolers you big guys have in case someday I start making some real Jam!

The restrictor plates are only good in lower psi setups. They were never designed for high hp senerios.

Well lets face it. Most guys on here dont make over 750 800 WHP so it's all good. That's not to say that an A&A intercooler is not capable of enough airflow to crack big dyno numbers because it is bret and a few others proved that it could be done. its just not as easy as it is with an ECS intercooler. I don't think anyone is doubting the ecs intercooler is more suited to make more power. There's so much more than raw flow numbers as it pertains to an intercooler. One of my biggest reasons for stepping up was to help get my iat's back under control. Even that involved more than just an intercooler upgrade.

Most guys buy something bolt it on and go. They are happy with a huge dyno number and a car that drives down the road. Most couldn't tell you what they average for iat's on any given day or situation.

Rest assured if you decide to up your power level and are interested in making the absolute most performance out of your car all the time, its going to take more than just having an intercooler to do it.

I don't even think its fair to measure the overall performance of a car in terms of 1/4 mile times or dyno numbers.

I am an A&A guy. They are only 90 miles from me and they have been awesome customer service wise. Plus the numbers they pulled from my car are pretty impressive!
