Thanks for your interest and appreciation John.

Unfortunately, I don't have any fancy engineering calculations to share.

To determine what to use for the intercooler heat exchanger and pump, I scoured the various forums and found pieces of information that "guided" me to our pieces as follows:

This posting gave me an understanding of how the CTS-V intercooling set up compares to other current GM offerings like the ZR1's:

This article gave me some idea of how the ZL1 intercooling system and top hat compared to the CTS-V LSA set up: (interesting how they basically used a pump from the Chevy Volt running on increased voltage)

This posting had some data on aftermarket pumps:

Here are the specs of the heat exchanger we ordered: (we actually sourced ours through C&R along with our 2nd Gen. radiator module)

Here are the specs of the intercooler pump we ordered. I talked to the Meziere rep at Sema and got comfortable that this pump would last a long time based on the fact that it is used as the primary engine coolant pump in other applications.

Hopes this helps.

P.S. You will be happy to know we are going to be drilling a hole back by our battery to install a II Much Fabrication fuel tank vent!
