I can see you point Tony, But what i cannot understand is all the Malta (high power cossies) run either bodged intercoolers ie two welded together or std ones claiming loads of power WTFwould it be down to running such low c/r ratios to keep temps down??

I read in one of the mags a Mk2 escort runninga 4x4 cooler claiming a 430 bhp figure
