Drivetrain Forge Motorsports Top Mount InterCooler

I think it is about time for the NAM administrators to either ask this guy to buy a sponsorship for the site, or dismiss him. If you look at all the posts he has made you will see that almost all (except for 1 for 1st gear and 2 on NAM pet peeves) are pumping and hyping this intercooler. He even stated that the intercooler "cured" his ruff idle.

Respectfuly, Neffarious, you have a lot to learn about the IC and the air flow needed to make it work right in an MCS.
I also feel that this Forge unit will most likely be worse in performance then the stock IC.
Sorry, but it's garbage in my book.

I will then go to forge and talk to them about improving it. If they do great if not nothing ventured nothing gained.

When istalling any aftermarket IC, you should take the time to trim, clear, and clean the surounding area to maximize flow.

WTF is up with that??
Here's the review link.
I also know because I bought one and I talked to Randy at a RIchmond VA pulley party.
Alta pressure may be
I love conspiracies.
Edit:
OK....now it's back on the store pages

The intercooler that blocks the inlet gave me an idea, i just wanted to float out there.. How about an intercooler that blocks the inlet path but is actually has the fins vertically instead of horrizonal, that way it continues to flow through the intercooler. Of course the challenge with this as i see it is as the are goes past the front fins the cooling will decrease towards the back, as it will pick up more heat from the intercooler... i'm just curious about the overall efficiency of the design.
On the actual forge product, with the intercooler, as we all know.. the main items of concern are inlet vs outlet temperature change and pressure drop. I was curious if Neffarious ever tested this.

I intimated above about a bonnet/IC designed together - a flow-thru system much like is done with many radiators in race type applications. This would require lifting the back of the IC up a bit, perhaps moving it a bit forward in the enginebay to drop the front as well, then forming a bonnet that has an opening behind the IC. This part of the bonnet would also have to reside above the valve cover - which means it will also reside under the IC. The only way to make sure such a system will work is with the aid of a wind tunnel.

What do you all think?
