6.0 or 7.3?

Intercooler that is. Which is better? What type of intercooler is best retrofitted to an OBS?

For retrofitting a factory cooler, I would go with the 6.0 intercooler.

If you're going aftermarket, I would go with either the DIIC or a Spearco 6.0 cooler.

Sorry, was talking factory cooler. Don't have the dough for aftermarket...

I think the 6.0 is bigger, at least from what I see the SD guys swapping for.
I used a 02 plastic tank 7.3 one in mine , but that is what I got for the right price
