Intercooler change

Anybody change out their stock intercooler for an after market such as the Banks? I have a 2006 6.0 6 speed that is stock (no tuner) except for a 4" turbo back exhaust and am wondering if an upgrade in the intercooler might be worth the expense in the long haul for any performance and mileage improvement. Any ideas or experience on this one?? Also anyone know how much Banks gets for thier intercooler?

Spearco Intercooler

Thanks for the offer. Followed the link and did not find a listing for a 6.0 kit. What benefits if any can this provide over the stock intercooler? Would it improve mileage or the lag response I experience with the manual transmission?

I don't believe either is listed on the website, but call Jeremy and he can give you pricing on both. Major benefits are less boost drop and a cooler, denser air charge which helps lower EGT's and raise efficiency. The spearco has an extremely efficient design and allows you to use the stock plumbing. With the Banks you have to change the plumbing, which comes with the cooler, but you loose flow velocity.
