Intercooler comparison

Still shopping for a IC, found a couple "new" 7.3 IC's on ebay for around $150 All the 6.0's are higher, is it really worth the added cost to shell out for a 6.0?

im plannin on having it on the top of the motor vbanded right to the compressor outlet then build the pipe to vband it to the other side of the cooler and 90 right to the manifolds im looking at the 600hp 3" in/out ic with the pipes on the same side

im gonna run the largest radiator possible which is supposed to be good for over 1200hp with the bosch pump on the cold side at the bottom of the radiator

i wanna do this so when i build the new motor with the sequentials im gonna cool both stages

Jake, I take it you have replaced the stock fuel/filter system to be able to do that, correct.
