water to air intercooler who's running one.
 
I have a1997 ram 3500 that I have turned up to 450HP with BD towing twins. I use the truck for towing mostly and was looking at up grading my intercooler to water to air. Who is running one and how do you like it?

I don't think the cost:benefit would be there for a 450hp truck. I plan to run one on my dually when I do the twins on it, but I'll be shooting for a little bit more than 450hp. It'll be between stages, a proper intercooler.

I don't plan on stopping at 450HP. I already hit 1300 on my EGT with the stock air to air so planning ahead for the next power up grade.

I don't think the aftercoolers are going to give you the EGT drop you desire. BD twins aren't that big to begin with. Bigger turbos, or better yet, a cam, will get you closer to the EGT's you desire. 1300 degrees really isn't that hot, anyway.

I agree with Tate totally!!
