I'm contemplating on going a different route. Taking the meth off and running an A2W. I have the same fears as you....if my meth takes a crap, it'll probably blow the fenders off of it.

Which intercooler where you running before?

procharger 2 core with cast tanks, I removed that and went to meth when I had a P1SC and haven't used an intercooler since.

Which A2W intercooler are thinking of running?

Anyone know if the A2W's from frozenboost.com are any good?

I'm gonna try to build my own A2W with Garrett core(s). I made a post on ls1tech a while back about A2W's and got some good feed back. You might go check it out if your interested. Some posted links to good intercooler builders and also got some feedback on the cheap stuff.

I'm still running the 3-core procharger intercooler with welded tanks. I've got my D1sc maxed out, do think its restricting it? I can't get a straight answer from anyone at procharger.

I have the 650hp A2W intercooler from frozenboost.com and it has performed really well although i did lose 2lbs of boost (i have a remote mount turbo though) even under boost for 20 seconds the IAT never got above 9F above ambient temps..

Thanks, I'll check out LS1 tech and see what I can dig up. My guess is that the 3 core is probably slightly undersized for a maxed out D1SC, your probably losing 2-4lbs of boost, but I look at your 10.46 ET and I think otherwise. Check your IAT's first and if there in check your probably ok but if they're soaring it's not getting the job done.

Regarding the IAT's, I've never NOT sprayed meth, so I think that could be masking the problem (if there is one). One thing I did notice though is that when I used to run 14psi my IATs would never start going back up in the 1/4 mile. They would drop and stay there. Now with me spinning the ever living **** out of the blower, I'm seeing the IAT's drop and then start coming up a few degrees. Also they don't seem to drop as much when comparing to ambient.

I would like to try to run it without the meth (with adjusted tune of course) and see how bad the IAT's actually are, but I'm afraid I don't have the ***** too, even though I only run C-16 fuel. I know..I know.. I'm scared, people tell me all the time "your running C-16 and are afraid of high IAT's?". I just don't want to tear anything up just yet.
