Im currently running a bullseye-power t4 350-450whp capable.
550cc injectors
walboro 255 FP
adjustable FPR
2.5inch exhaust with turbular o2 housing w/dump tube
3" GM maf
SAFC2
Fluidyne radiator and slim fans
2g ported exhaust manifold



should i go with their street kit or their "race kit"?

I want good fitment and I don't want overkill. I want an intercooler that is going to be right for my setup and not a bling factor.

for 50 bux or whatever the rpice dif is i think its stupid not to get the race core
 
Well are you going to be driving the car everyday or is it just a weekend killer. I think is you are just going to drive it on the weekends the the Race FMIC but if you are going to drive it every day and run low boost when you are then the Street FMIC kit. I have the Race setup on both of my cars but my DD run high boost a lot at night. But I had the Greddy Big FMIC kit be for the SBR race kit and it did help but on the other hand my temps went up as well when I am just driving around town and what not. Slowboy makes there kits to fit the first time you put it on and there is great fitment as well. Let me know if you need to know more :dsm:
 
Well the money isn't really what im concerned with its I dont want a core that is to large for my application. I do intend on running a good bit of boost when I do take the car out....I honestly don't drive it all the time but I've been trying to get it to a daily driver status so if I want to hop in it I can just go down the road no problems. I dont want something that is going to be a headache to fit on their or bottom out....


Did you have issues with your engine not staying cool after using the racecore?

fans will cure that
 
Well if you are looking to make that kind of power with it then I would say get the race core. That should have no problem handling the power and still will not kill your lowend to bad.

I'd go for the race fmic. The street on is good for around 350, that's what they told me. I told them I wanted to be pushing over 400 and they said the street one wouldn't hold up on that.
They being the guys at SBR
