525sc intercooled
Has anyone intercooled their 525sc?
Thinking about doing it. Have been told I can run 8lb boost w/intercooler's. What do you think? 100hp+ per mtr gain.

I would say more like 50-60hp. You can run 7.5# w/o the cooler without any problems. Won't make as much HP, but it can be done. I have done it for almost 250hrs.

You think only 50-60hp gain w/chiller and larger pully?
I thought you may get 50 w/chiller alone...

Often wish I still had them. They are less stressed at the higher boost intercooled than they are stock without the intercoolers.

I say its still better to do the larger blower....not that the other way won't work for ya.
When I had my 525's rebuilt we went with roller cams and 6.5psi pulleys without chillers, they made 580HP on the dyno.
I ran the pisss out them.
