Right i am looking at intercooling my vortec supercharger but seem to be a bit of confusion over what type is best air to air or water to air ?? does anyone know what the better is?

Also what psi losses are acceptable i see air to air about 1psi but water to air claiming 0.1psi losses?

Cheers

Water is better from my research.

six of one, half a dozen of the other.


space dictates which is best.

A A2W with inadequate core size or water rad, can be very poor...so you cant say one is better than the other.

By their nature.. A2A would be very difficult with a PD blower, unless it the blower is remotely mounted, which is complicated.

With centri's or turbo's, either style of intercooler becomes much easier.
