Ok so I got antsy and am really tired of high intake manifold temps.

Sold my other intercooler on ebay to a customer now using it on a 240sx turbo - glad it got put to use.

Deleted my air conditioning, now this is going to sit right behind the kidney grills...not anodized black sleeper like my old one, but should look mean right?

New:

forgot to mention its 16"x13"x3" thick with 2.5" in and out, and I have 2.5" mandrel bent pipes waiting to mate to it.

Yep, looks mean jon.

And if it don't do the trick, you could always do your laundry on it.

Did you pull the AC out all the way to behind the bulkhead?

The only wait to tell that the car once had AC is the short like 8" hard lines sticking out from the firewall.

an intercooler of that size - what horsepower levels is it rated for?

Good thing you live in the NE, I would never want to go without A/C in KS. Should look mean though, that right behind the kidneys.
