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. :D

Not worth spinning it up that hot(14,000rpm's) to just take the heat back out....change them out for 8-71's.

I did it,no problems so far!

Re: 525sc intercooled
 

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.

Nice looking ride JJONES :drink:

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

Had a pair for six years with the chillers and the pulley upgrade. Ran at 7 -7.5 lbs. and were 100% trouble free. They made over 600 hp, only thing I did was to change oil ever 20 -25 hrs and plugs. Often wish I still had them. They are less stressed at the higher boost intercooled than they are stock without the intercoolers.

Thanks Ragged. 600hp would get me close to the 100mph mark! :D

Same here....
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.
