That would be great to see even considering the variables. I suspect with a tune and even a tune like the JBD that does not touch boost there would be some benefit to a larger IC, since logic would tell you that with along with the substantial increase in HP that temps also increase. The unknown variable at the moment though, is just how efficient is the stock IC on a stock car. Then install a tune like the JBD and see what that does to the efficiency of the stock IC. It may prove that while the stock IC maybe efficient if the car is in stock form, but that it is up against the wall as soon as horsepower is increased significantly - that's what I am hoping anyway. Assuming this to be the case, without boost compensating for the cooler/more condensed air the larger IC would provide, the one obstacle or drawback maybe the increase in turbo lag, not sure that I could handle this increasing much more.
