In CA:

Officer= Hey is this car modified? I'm gonna need you to step out of the car and get beat half to death

In FL:

You: Hey officer check out my new turbos want a ride?

Oficer: Cool man, but no thanks I'm too busy beating you half to death. "PUT DOWN THE SKITTLES DAMN IT"

Keep telling your self that! I own a machine gun, suppressors, short barrel rifles, can run 93 octane with no corn and no one cares what I do to my car, it sucks here! If you act an idiot here and get shot thats your problem not mine, you can have Cali!

I guess just to add in to the above "IF" you need to keep you manifold design why not have one with out the extra cooler in it. Everyone I know has moved on from you heat exchanger to the frozen boost one, Why not just use a larger one than the one we all moved to an remove the one in the manifold. ?

They work together. Everyone still uses the intercooler that is in the manifold. But they swapped out the smaller heat exchanger that comes with Stillens kit for a larger one from FrozenBoost. It's kind of like swapping from a 19row oil cooler to a 34row.

Your post made it sound like people were removing the intercooler from the intake manifold. And that needs to be corrected.

Kyle let be serious for a second, You know and the guys on here know I am one of the biggest pushes for you and the kit, I really loved mine and took it almost further than anyone else" Cliff" beat me buy 13 WHP but he also has a manual and I had a auto AWD . I ekk'd out 457 WHP He made 470
The heat exchanger on you kit is not efficient at all. Why else would you put another in the manifold ? The outside one is SMALL looks like an oil cooler and you mount the darn thing to the radiator " Come one man" I Took my car to the track on not a hot or humid night was about 80 and almost no humidity I made 2 passes , 2! the the car was heat soaked, On my third run the car felt like it was pulling a piano it was so bad I was only trapping 107 and pulling 13.1's - Those are stock motor bolt on numbers. I never made it back to the track because the damn thing detonated and threw a rod( I'm not the only one either) It is a fact that the heat exchanger is not large and will cause heat soak and issues. Don't get me worng I still love you kit want one again some day but will be looking for a kit with out the heat exchanger and NO tune, Don't even get us started on the can tune that some of us cant start the car because it so RICH or the fact that the can tune make zero power, Just speaking from experience again. Mine on the can tune made 342 WHP( For ($9600) ! ? Made 300 full NA. Custom tune made 412 WHP BTW that's you advertised power level and not the 342WHP.

An air to water system always consists of two cores one inside the manifold and one at the front of the car they are two parts of the same system and both cores need to be in place. The core in the manifold pulls the heat out of the air and the core at the front of the car dumps the heat to ambient. but yeah the cores are too small and inefficient, and the manifold needs some help in the airflow department.

another great option would be smaller pulleys to increase boost higher for people with built motors.

what's the best way to get more than 9psi out of the kit?

A different head unit as in probably the v7 JT CCW unit vortech part number 2A159-010, V7 YSi CCW is a part number 2A159-050 and is rated for a little more
