Has anyone come to a conclusion on what is better..

Banks Techni-Cooler or SPEARCO ?

I know Spearco is using that new Fin Design pattern which is suppose to be better.. But the question remains, are you using stock CAC Tubes unlike the Banks which uses larger tubes and intake?

Just curious..

Got a Spearco heading to the house and will have it installed this weekend. Black Widow claims 300*+ temp drop in EGTs and includes the turbo-to-IC pipe. I have heard in overall design the Spearco is the better unit but using either product is a great upgrade to the OEM unit.

So the only line they increased was Turbo-IC.. The IC-Intake is the same factory tube?

I don't think they increased the size. I will know for sure later this week.
