Intercooler
I'm making my final decision on an intercooler. What you you buy if you were in my shoes and why? Shooting for 400WHP max.
Spearco 20x10.5x3 $500.00 total
or
PWR 10.5x20x3 $495.00 total
The core sizes and in/outlets are the same size. They are both tub & fin.

I have not seen solid data to backup the claim that tube & fin has a quicker response for cooling and some other claims.
tube & fin PWR
I will look for a good bar & plate picture.
Also, I have not read this but people say it's a good read.

Couldn't find any good pictures but Bell intercoolers had this ...
What are the variations in core construction used in intercoolers?
The variations are in the style of manufacture of the core material. A “Bar and Plate”-Style Core is made by brazing up a layered structure of flat plates separated by small rectangular spacers. A “Tube and Flange”-Style Core is created by extending a series of tubes through a header flange and brazing the assembly together. For heavy duty applications, pressure spikes up to 250 psig and rugged environments, ”Solid Extruded Tube”-Style Cores are available.
