"But wait, there’s more! Even with our power, pressure, and temperature results finalized, there was still more to test. In all of the prior tests, Pedro was given a cool-down period between each run for consistent results. While that testing gave us swaths of important information about our design, we still needed to push this intercooler to its absolute limits. Enter the heat soak test. This test simulates the harshest driving conditions and demonstrates how well our intercooler can ward off heat soak. To test the heat dissipation qualities, we stack up to six power pulls on top of each other, with the next starting as soon as the revs return to idle, with no cool-down period. Even through this torture test, our intercooler maintained a 20°F difference under the stock unit. "
"The fruits of our labors are, of course, extra power added to the 2.3L’s output. While the primary purpose of upgrading the intercooler system is to keep up with performance tuning, the improvements to the system often result in beneficial side effects in the form of additional horsepower and torque. Specifically, in terms of our testing, we were able to add another 5.6 horses to the pack along with 5.3 lbs-ft of torque on the stock tuning, and we expect to find even more to add with the full piping kit. "
Think this without test pipes, but still
