New performance intercooler

The awesome guys at CV Fabrications sent me their new intercooler for 2.7L and 3.5L F150s. At the time it was a prototype, but now it's on the open market.

I don't have any power adding mods, but for those of you that do, or if you tow a lot, this could be a nice upgrade. Super easy. I did see some real improvements in terms of temperatures after I upgraded.

Full disclosure, I didn't pay for this intercooler, it was given to me for testing and promotion.

It looks good, is all aluminum, and the guys at CVFab were awesome. They do a lot of mustang stuff, but are branching over to the F150 side.

I have had a Wagner CAC on my '17 since about May 2017. I bought it from 5Star Tuning so mine wasn't a freebie in return for advertising. It works great and 5Star are great guys. If you plan on towing or racing you need one as the stock CAC heatsoaks very easily

The factory one does heatsoak pretty quickly. I have not seen the Wagner option yet, I'll have to go check it out!
