End of the day, I've seen ANTZ on set ups pushing over 450kw and my goal is 320 for now and maaaaybe 400 on e85 in the future so it should be fine for my goals. Plus the cold side is significantly cooler than the hot side so it seems to be working well

this is a performance design so it's lighter for power to weight gains!

The F6 intercooler was slightly larger although general consensus is it's no better then an XR factory cooler.

I mean, it's twice the size so I doubt that it's no better... but I wouldn't upgrade from an xr to an f6 cooler, that's for sure.

yea that's what I thought as well but everyone who tunes these things was saying they really ain't much better...

surprised me also..

 

 

in regards to the antz IC I think it be a good choice if it was under 1000 bucks but for what they charge for it the few hundred extra for PW or Plazzy is the way to go

100% agree, for another 300 bucks I could have gotten a PW2

get outta here hahaha surely not! I'm cheering if that's the case, and explains why it's working so well for me

 

ANTZ say they pressure test them for 40psi and I'm not putting that kinda boost into my barra soo.... as long as it cools the air (which it seems to) I'm happy

The ANTZ is an exact copy of the process west. The boys at ANTZ ripped a process west apart and sent it to their manufacturer for an exact copy. I don't know if the materials are the same but they seem to work fine.
