Look if you need a winch or would like your cac up and away from damage then yes the FR is your option. But it will block your rad and block airflow. Thats just a fact. I have also seen FR users state the condensation issue was still present. The Bell unit is drop in, best flowing, and best construction.

You can't actually prove that scientificaly can you? You've stated your opinion about best flowing, best construction. I think the other intercoolers (Wagner being probably the best overall constuction) work just as well, (ATP drops in) but cost considerably less. You have no tests to prove that it addresses any condensation issues and until you actually have a wide enough customer base in the climates that cause it you won't be able to prove it.
As far as FR IC, I've stated my proof that the intercooler in 120 degree weather does NOT impact the cooling/AC systems, there's many hours of data logging on Full-Race's truck with the big single (makes more HP than any other F150 out there).
You are stating opinions and marketing hype not fact and no data to back up the claims.
Again nice piece, but prove your points don't just make statements.
One thing to consider, I made 600WHP in my Flex with a 1" thick intercooler that was approximately 20" tall by 30" wide, a huge restriction yet still made 600HP. My mods were dual upgraded in tank fuel pumps with modified stock intake manifold with 6 aux injectors, aux injector controller, downpipes and a cold air with ATP upgraded turbos. You guys can buy intercoolers but you're paying $1600 (for their IC) for 10HP of actual power, that's not a great ROI. The Full-Race unit is a nice piece as well but $1200 is even a bit much BUT it's a work of art with a great core.
I'd rather spend less money on an intercooler and $600 on a meth kit for BIG HP increase vs a $1600 intercooler. I'm all about maximizing my performance dollars. A gallon of meth should last at least a week or two (maybe longer depending on your lead foot) and you'll pick up 60+ HP to the wheels as compared to the 10 (or so) from an intercooler. Long term E85 is the BIG gain, 60-100+ HP to the wheels when tuned for it and no meth required. I've proven that on my Flex, closest SHO to me was 430HP on 93 with meth with upgraded Tial turbos vs 600HP on E85 with upgraded turbos.
Take notice, I'm not disparaging SSI, just disagreeing with the marketing hype that is being extolled by them and their customers. I also rebutted their down talking of the competition which isn't required.
Put up FACTs, don't put up hype and if SSI wants to keep talking about me (they love me on their forum) then keep avoiding the actual technical discussion, keep saying I only resell parts (I've had my hand in quite a few custom parts prototyped for the SHO/Flex market and working slowly on F150 stuff). They're putting up smoke screens to avoid the actual tech talk which I LOVE.
BTW, I don't tune, I don't want to tune, I've spent a bit working on the Flex but in the end Torrie was easier than spending my time to learn how to tune. Between working a full time job, running a parts company and now we're in wrestling season my time is at a premium (I volunteer coach and work out with the heavyweights), I'll leave tuning to
[email protected], he's awesome, professional and he can tune (has direct tie ins with SCT as well).
