Did a little test on my ProAlloy Intercooler
Ok, before I get shot down I know this is not very technical or 100% accurate but I still thought it was a pretty good indication of what was going on at the time.
Anyhow, I was travelling up the M6 towards brum to drop car off at Martoons a few weeks ago. It was the first really lovely sunny day we have had this year and was pretty hot. (I had shorts on in fact so it must have been nice)
The road emptied and so I put the car in third and nailed it. I Kept my foot in hard to almost 8k in 4th gear and it felt like we were REALLY moving. Stack speedo is broken so don't know how fast
I have a dual SPA gauge that shows the Charge temp before the intercooler and then charge temp after. At full hammer up a slight incline the temps going into the Intercooler were 177 degrees!!! but coming out the other side the ACT was down to 31
Now I'm no expert and I admit the test is pretty unscientific but I was very pleased with my Pro-Alloy cooler will do some more tests at the next trackday but in the mean time BIG up Wayne and Alex
You get the LMH seal of Approval

Yeah BIG UP the Pro alloy boys.
I called them up needing a fuel swirl pot and an oil breather tank on Thursday of last week and they were all delivered to me at the Central show!!!
Pic of my new fuel system all installed.
Awesome quality stuff and Awesome service!!!! 
Oh and if you can't really tell how big Broms intercooler is, the boys made a one off and it is actually TWICE the size of Porkies!!
