Upgraded Intercooler pics and install
#####UPDATE######
OK guys, I just got home from the track(Firebird), I am here to confirm that the spool up has been compromised significantly however the boost is steel steady, this intercooler will hold more boost and for longer periods but it takes more time to build it.
Here is my theory, I am guessing this intercooler gave me the ultimate torque boost, the car starts building boost slower than before until it gets to a point were the car pushes superhard and that is when the rpms go higher acting like a slipping clutch. I am thinking my torque levels must be that high that my stock clutch with 11500miles and 80 passes can no longer keep up.
What do you guys think?

What times did you get? I was there my best was 12.8 106mph 91oct.

It was one of these pathetic days that I have once in a while. I was there with Abner(Slowcar) and Socorro(evo9grl).
I saw Mynes Performance white Evo 9 and perhaps HouseDJ yellow Evo 8
First run I launched great but as you can see I shifted from 1st to 2nd to 5th so it was 13.1@101. I truly think I destroyed the clucth at that run, my clutch was slipping more than half tarck length due to the shifting to 5th too early.
When I went to the pitts again my car was smoking clutch asbestos for another 20 minutes..
My second run I ran 12.6@110 with a bad 1.9 60'
My third run I launched better 1.7 but I missed 3rd and did a 12.6@109.27
4th run I did a 12.4@110 missing 3rd again
5th run I launched perfectly but 3rd gear no matter what would not engage so it was 13.31@ 105.89
For someone that knows how to read and interpret the timeslips, this is the catch, my 1/8 mile times and speed were .5 sec slower average slower since I ra my car with new intercooler. My 330' times were always very good 5.0 sec which is a promising record mark all to be vanished by not shifting to 3rd gear .
All my 60' were 1.7 except the 1.9. My reaction times were :
.030
.031
.007
and two more that I don't have the paper with me but will post later. Definately the spool up has been compromise.
Other people running their cars:
Blue Evo9 tuned by Mynes Performance: 312/312 Mustang Dyno, Drop in filter,3"tb"Hallman MBC,Mynes performance Tunning(perhaps with ECUTEK)
Blue Evo 9 ran anywhere from 13.0 all the way to 13.7 speeds ranging around 108-110. (He was also having a bad day)
Another stock silver Evo 8 ran a best of 13.6 around 96-98
Bone stock STI ran 14.0@96 all the time, average 13.9 or so
Definately not one of my best driving days...

No,I don't have the undertray. I hope to find out if a tunner could minimize my spool up time, there is no doubt in my mind that this big intercooler slows down the spool up.Yesterday when I first drove my car I was confused, I was on vacation for 3 weeks then I did not drive the car stock, I installed the NISEI intercooler and drove the car consequently my driving impresions were different.
I did notice a stronger boost but I almost want to swear that my spool up was different. At this point I think that my clutch is either partially incapable and worn out or my torque is simply tremendous for my stock clutch wich negatively affect my track times last night.
I wish to take my car to a dyno and re-meassure the whp and TQ.
