to improve stock 9 intercooler?

I’ve searched around, and couldn’t come up /w anything.. so i want to improve the stock 9 intercooler, i was either thinking nisei /w LICP.. or doing a LICP and nos spray setup for when i go to the track. I live in Fl so the temp outside is never that cold. Also i dont really need the power on the street, mainly for 1/4 mile track. I know the nesei will give me more HP, but will the large intercooler even help that much when the temp outside is 80+? I was reading that ambient temps taken in by the intercooler cannot be colder than the temps outside... unless you use c02 or nos to cool the intercooler down. So what do you think would be money better well spent? Also, we have bad love bugs and im on the highway all the time, i know ill be pissed when that intercooler starts to get all chipped up.

Thanks Travis

get either the nesei or the ams intercooler and call it a day. i have not seen anyone do nos injection onto their stock intercooler but ya. you could also get water injection i think instead of an intercooler which cools down the air temps and allows you to turn up boost and stuff. someone correct me if i am wrong but i think you should only need a new intercooler if you are on a bigger turbo. if you want bigger #'s get meth or alchy...

nisei IC pipes will help. if you really need to cool your intercooler then nitrous will help...please dont install a dumb intercooler sprayer...those are useless.

the stock core is good up to 400hp...or guys usually are running stock cores until they upgrade to gt30-35r's...if its 80+ there most of the time...then the nos/co2 intercooler spray isn't bad at all...good investment...but there are other ways around this method like meth/water/alky...but caution must be taken when using this method because meth/water/alky because things needed to be upgraded like headstuds and rod bolts...

--licp is not bad...better response imho..i have the neisei licp and response is a whole lot better...that also goes the same for buschur and ams....

kk thanks, i was just trying to see if i could improve the performance of the stock intercooler for track days... i will most likely get a new core, but first things first... intake,o2housing, EXmanifold,MBC,reflash...

thanks for the fast replys! Travis
