.... a intercooler might give me a gain of 10 hp.. it isnt anywhere close to "stupid" and you might want to tell the guys running in the 10's with out a IC and a nice little t-88 that they are "stupid" as well.. but thats just me..
And why keep the t-28? a hybrid will probably spool 500rpm slower if that.. and you will have a massive top end pull when it starts flowing to anywhere close to its peak, instead of reaching the max before the redline.. just my thought..
