When do we get to hear about the reviews of these intercoolers?

Here's some data.

Thanks Z... I’m nervous that I’d damage the bumper removing it. But it does look pretty simple. I’ll have to watch a few YouTube videos first... lol

If the bumper is your biggest worry, you may not want to tackle this job. The bumper is the easiest part.

I think we should be clear on terminology.  Are we removing the bumper COVER or the bumper?  Removing the bumper itself is a safety issue.  The COVER is easy peasy, but definitely suggest 2 people, underlayments to place the cover on, etc.  Not much required.

Cover only, not the crash protection structure.

Haha, it's absolutely worth it though. An installation video is coming soon from Gearhead so just keep posted on that.

I hope no one ends up drilling a hole in this bad boy because even the smallest pinhole leaks can lose power AFAIK!
 
TOTAL AMOUNT Is $875.00 correct! Z

Hellboy will be brought to bear on such desecrators!!!

There's going to be a lot of new personal best strip times and hopefully more ripping through the 12 barrier into the 11's!  Let's see how deep we can go!  Hopefully BPD will set us a new record

Have you priced what an upgraded IC runs on other platforms???

And this one being not only custom, but one that's gone through multiple revisions and upgrade(s) from its' initial version from concept at that.....?

I'll guess probably not.

$800 for the part alone is peanuts.

If you're squabbling over that, perhaps you should just sell your SHO now, and save yourself some headaches.

LOL.

custom parts are hard enough to get into development, forget about production.  been down that road WAY too many times.  glad to see gearhead putting the hammer down, full steam ahead on things!

Some uneducated F150 owner and owner of an inferior tune will negatively influence a SHO owner to do something dumb like that unfortunately lol

The idea of a builtin drain plug is appealing tho.

That's why this one has a drain plug..

Well, there you go!  You'd think this was a custom piece or something, LOL!

 

[ZSHO]

One of the key factor's is left last.. Drain plug on the Passenger side of IC ?TIA. Z

True Indeed Manu! Nothing good comes easy. Z

Does this intercooler make meth unnecessary?
