Intercooler in and it wasn't too bad to install other than a couple small obstacles. So I'm running a 5star 93 octane tune with a borla s type. My 0-60 times before the intercooler were 4.8 seconds and with the intercooler nothing changed. I sure hope 5star can tweak this tune. My 2019 raptor with a cobb tune tune intercooler ran 4.5 seconds. How the hell can a raptor be faster than this?

Get rid of 5Star....that’s 1/2 your problem. A good 93 tune should be running low 4’s unless your in Denver or somewhere...in which case still get rid of 5Star. lol
And honestly the benefits from the IC are just starting to show up around 60mph. That’s about when it’ll start pulling timing with the stock IC. Compare 1/4 mile runs and you should see the benefit.

Kinda figured that. When I put the intercooler on my raptor cobb sent me a stage 2 tune which gave the truck power throughout every gear. I could feel a huge difference between the two. Is palm beach dyno a good choice? I really don't feel like having a laptop in the car. I guess I just don't know enough about it.
Thanks for yer help

You're welcome, I plan on ordering the intercooler this weekend. When I had my Focus ST the intercooler was one of the best upgrades because the stock one got heat soak so bad! Didn't add much power, but the power was consistent and didn't feel like it was falling on it's face after a short acceleration.

I would say that "need" depends on the person. Living in AZ where it gets 120 in the summer, the factory intercooler will probably allow charge air temps close to 200 then on a short acceleration. This can cause timing to be pulled, pre-detonation and other bad things to happen. So not only is it for performance reasons that I want to do it, it's also for reliability in the long run.
