I am needing to lower egt's but dont know rather to go for a 7.3 intercooler or do water/meth kit. Can pick up about 70 hp and around 250 degree egt drop with water/meth rather the intercooler which dont know what to really expect with that. Any input on either one would be great.

Thanks, Tyler

i was really leaning towards putting water/meth on my truck but i got a used intercooler for 300 dollars and didnt have a huge problem installing it but im glad i went with it because its cooling effects are always there, where as with water/meth you only have cooling when you have your mix on hand. but a brand new intercooler can cost more than pretty much all the water meth injection kits so thats my input.

I would do the intercooler if you tow much. Heavy tow at high altitude you might need both with 2's. If you are a hotrodder go with the water/meth. I have one friend with water/meth and he never uses it as he is lazy only uses when racing.

What might be the safest and best water/meth system out there?

does the 6.0l cooler lower much more than the 7.3? I've read where the 6.0l cooler does not fit very well. How much should I expect in cooling with either one? Needing atleast 350* cooling.

I have read that the people who had made the swap it claims about 100* lower the EGTs, TOWING.

And thats for an OBS with a retro fit 7.3 to 6.0 ? I Heard the 99+ trucks upgrading to the 6.0 and claiming the 100* drop, But just want to besure before I keep looking for the 6.0

I see the 7.3 coolers going for less, and more of them..
