Default Intercooler Recommendation

Currently I'm running a JRC tube and fin intercooler. Core size is 29x5x2. Lenght from end tank to end tank is 32 inches. I have a bar and plate intercooler which was part of a S2000 kit. The core size is 18x7x3. Lenght from end tank to end tank is 26 inches with 2.75 inches outlet/inlet.

Do you think it's worth the time or will impact performance switching from the JRC to the other?

Unless you're running a lot of boost or something I doubt it'd be much of a difference. Unless the other one is sexier.

Wouldn't see much of a difference. Not worth switching them out if you already have the JRC installed and running fine.

I'm running 15 psi boost. Since the engine is built (forged piston/rods) my hope is to increase the boost up to 20-25 psi. Hope to make 300+ WHP. It does not fill up the bumber so looks wise the JRC is sexier.

When I get some time to take pictures I'll post them, and sell it.
