Would this benefit a stock ZR1? If so can you PM me when you have the results.
Thanks

I would be interested in this answer too.

The short answer to that would be Yes...

Anything that cools the intake charge an additional 65% is going to be good for you. Additionally, it will keep ahead of the heat-soak curve much better than the OEM unit.

Just because this single component in the entire intercooler loop is 65% more efficient than stock does not mean that the intake charge is going to be cooled an additional 65%.

The entire intercooler system would need to be 65% more efficient.

Once again...ANYTHING that cools the intake charge more than OEM is a good thing...whether it's 10% or 65%...it's better for a forced-induction car for sure.

What the benefits are will take some testing to determine...but bottom line it isn't a bad thing!

If the intake air temperature is cooled sufficiently for the stock boost level then using a larger heat exchanger does nothing but block the flow into the radiator.

In other words if the heated fluid entering the heat exchanger leaves close to ambient then increasing the heat exchanger size will not make any difference.

Sufficiently according to who? And for who? The guy that leaves his
ZR1 parked in the garage, or the guy who is going to track it?

Very true. I have never tested the fluid temps, but I doubt it is ambient reaching the blocks. We will see how well the cooling system responds to the exchanger once 21rst completes a few test applications.
