Mythbuster: continuing project thread of my 1303 '75

Maybe this could be of use/interest?
Although you probably don't want to switch your air-air intercooler for a water-air one and there isn't as much space available above the transmission compared to a 911

Did you know that the 9ff-boss changed the water-air chargecooler in favour of an air-air intercooler because...wait for it.... the air-air ones flowed and cooled better?
That was in one of his 1200hp record setting 911's

But really, I have no air intake temp problems or gains to be had in that department. IAT stays really low, even at 24psi boost ;-)

Blue thunder explained it once as well, and air-air one is more efficient (for the same size/space) as a water-air one.

1.65 bar sounds good!
