Has anyone used the Livernois intercooler and able provide any real data on it? Dragy runs, time slips, even some observations of intake temps would be fine.

Judging by the pictures, it's definitely the biggest intercooler for an ST as far as frontal area goes. I'm assuming it's a 2" core but can't really tell and they don't mention anything, so there could be others with more volume. I think it's the cheapest option I've seen aswell, aside from the Whipple/CVF clones on ebay for like 450usd.

Really want to see some data on one before I buy. Adam from ZFG said that's what I need now more than anything. I bought the 93 DMS tune and it's insane so far, but my intake temps were at 210+ mid pull on the last Data Log I'd sent him.

If I don't end up going with the Livernois, I'm heavily contemplating the Ultimate Performance intercooler with the 3" Garrett core. Virtually zero data on that from what I'm seeing aswell. Anyone ever run either of these or even a CPE Intercooler?

Thanks in advance

Welcome to the forum! You really aren’t going to notice a difference in one dragy run with an intercooler, it’s the back to back runs that’ll show the improvements of a larger intercooler. The stock intercooler is literally a joke. From what I’ve seen, all the intercooler perform about the same. I have never seen any comparisons among them mostly because they all perform pretty well. Just find the cheapest intercooler that’s not one of the eBay specials, and you’ll be just fine.

You won’t be able to tell a difference between any of the good options on the market. Buy the one that’s on sale….usually CVF with Tyler Clark’s discount code is the best deal going.
