Ron makes cooler for many engines and has agreed to make 1 for a roots mount and the core would be double of any out there for a roots.I know there is limited market but if he can get a hand full of people he will make some.Any questions?Discuss.
Thanks for your interest.

These "after the screw" intercoolers seem to be gaining popularity.

Does run a cool can (cold water) or engine coolant through it?

The discharge (bottom) side might look like the intake manifold, but the intake (top) side is a bad mis-match to the actual flow pattern leaving any helixed blower. A lot of the coolant isn't doing anything.

The core changes the path of the flow I agree.

That thing looks like it adds a ton of height....Why not mill out the intake to fit one that sits lower?

I dont like it lower.Rons cooler supports 2,000 hp.The whipple core looks short where Rons is 4" thick proven cores.I do not have to change anything for me to use Rons cooler.

Not even in the same league so yes it would be more effective.
