I have a 7.3 and want to upgrade the intercooler. Is a Banks 6.0 a better upgrade than a 6.0 Ford intercooler? I found a Banks(new) at a good price?
Your replies have always helped me. Keep up the good work.Thanks

Intercooler might be warranted if you want to drop egt's but power increase will be negligible. For the same money you would do better upgrading the chip, exhaust, intake...The 6.0 intercooler can be purchased very cheap if you want to go that route. If you go ahead with the upgrade, get the 6.0 intercooler. It bolts right in.
