Could you pull up some data with stock intercooler comparing an early and late run showing how much speed was being lost with stock setup as well?
Thanks
We switched data partners, so I can't overlay them on the same screen, but here's a lap chart of back-to-back laps from the stock intercooler on a warm day:
And here's a speed trace showing the fast lap vs. the last lap. Yes, you can see the tires falling off, but you can also see the drastically different acceleration curves.
