Default Intercoolers

I thought I would share this with you forced induction guys.
When I was in the building stage of this car I took a short cut and went with a cheap ebay intercooler. While trouble shooting on why the car was down on power I discovered there was a 15psi DP across the intercooler due to the air flowing across a long narrow path of core creating the high DP. Bell designed me a intercooler that would allow the air to flow across a wide short core, which lowered the DP across the intercooler and allowed the car to put 835 HP to the tires a 125HP gain by swapping intercoolers. The ebay intercooler was a nice piece for the money it just wasn't a good design for what I had in mind. I hope this makes sense and keeps someone from making the same mistake I made.
