GTM we need updates.

And as for 450-500 HP there are plenty of G35's out there with non built engines still going strong with lots of miles on it.

Props to everyone at GTM for representing for the Nissan/Infiniti crowd.

Just out of curiousity sake, why would you need an intercooler on a SC application?

I mean, assuming you're drawing air from in front of the radiator anyway, where would the air heat up enough to make a difference?

I mean, 7PSI isn't that much compression (unless I've missed something) - anyhow, I can see where it would apply with a turbo since the turbos are a heater due to the exhaust temps being transferred...

Do you want to make good power in anything above 45 degree weather? Then yes, you need an intercooler even at 7PSI (which you just can't throw out as a number because it depends on the design and size of the unit).

Colder AIT temps = More Horse power

Superchargers run plenty hot, and since our cars have heat issues anyway, why not have an intercooler to cool everything down.

Also Superchargers are more known for higher AIT then a turbo system

And you can get the same HP with less PSI with an intercooler so with one you can go lower psi or raise the psi for even more power.

I mean no offense, but you should read up on forced induction a bit and rethink this statement...

So you are saying that with an IC I cant run a lower PSI to achieve a certain HP that would require more PSI to achieve the same HP without an intercooler?
