Intake air temperature has a direct effect on bhp. In the
above graph at 6000 rpm the Forge front mount intercooler
reduces the intake temp further from 98 C to 52C This
equates to taking it from a 176 bhp to 190 bhp approx or a
gain of 14 bhp.
Of course this is hyperthetical, but rolling road results
indicated gains between 10 and 18 bhp on different runs.
Whilst a rolling road is no place to really test an
intercooler the results were as one would have expected.
