Its irrelevent in this argument, although I think the aerodynamic argument is solid.

this is true,

sad to say but i knew that...lol i'll just have to call that one a brain fart...:bbb: :bbb:

If ya can't beat 'em, join 'em.

i see twins w/ intercoolers as 1 power adder...

turbos and nitrous, 2 power adders...and so on


do they consider a nitrous car with multiple stages a multiple power adder car? do the nitrous cars that use something to warm their bottles (since they cant use a push) get put in a multiple power adder class for doing so, by bottle heater or the like?

as for taking the intercoolers out, it would probably slow em down since most use air/liquid and they really chill them down but i dont think all that much. but just like the roots car, that air still has to go through hot spots on its way to the cyl's. if he is going to bitch about it, maybe he should put a bigger blower on, or get a turbo himself.

isn't an intercooler a power adder in the same way that a bigger fuel pump is a power adder .................I think someone mentioned power releaser, I think that's more likely
