Intercooler Question

I'm going to run a T88 setup and need to know what kind of intercooler to get. I plan on running about 15-20lbs of boost. Should I get the Greddy 3 row front mount intercooler or should I get the Rotary Extreme V-mount? I have heard good and bad things about both setups, but I would like to get your guys' opinions.

v mount...i have the t78 and the front mount 2 row is toooo big and blocks air flow to my radiator....my cooling temps suck!...i am saving for the v mount from rotary extreme...its well worth the money and time you would spend trying to get temps down on a front mounted intercooled car...well this is just my own opinion...good luck and peace out

Look around the forum for some people that have a Vmount, it looks like everyone that has purchased one is thoroughly happy with there purchase and temps. And as many people like to say there are no cooling issues with a front mount, clearly there are people with issues because they come on here and post about it. Not to say if they had it ducted properly it wouldn’t work better, but for my money I would go with the Vmount because to me it just makes more sense. You are getting cold air to both heat exchangers, and if you know anything about thermo you will quickly realize that the heat differential is much greater with a Vmount causing it to cool more efficiently, and there is more surface area causing less restriction for the air to get through each core. plus Chucks work looks real nice on top of all that its just a bling bling thing
