It's time to put an intercooler on the beast. 1998 E-350 7.3 Powerstroke box truck. Now that I have to go west through the mountains to get to the Runoffs I think I need more power. (or less weight)
Going with and after market intercooler as there isn't room for the later factory ones. I now see why Ford didn't put an intercooler on these, the van needs about another foot in front to make it easy.
Tubing question. I think I can make the 3" tubing work, but it is super tight. The 2.5" would be easier.
Question #1 Is it worth the extra effort for the 3" or will the 2.5" be ok?
Question #2 I've read the bar and plate are better than the tube and fin type. Does it make a difference?
Question #3 Anyone have an early 99 intake spyder?
Thanks,
Jon
