an ic wont actually add power but will keep the power you had when the intake temps were lower. you notice on long grades how it seems like the truck looses power the further you get up and the higher the egts get up?

the ic will keep your intake temps in check so you have a denser air charge. with the ic then you can go with bigger injectors and a 1.0ar housing for more response.....

Well that has me some what interested. I was looking at the intercooler on the sd f550's we use on the ranch and it looks like a royal pain to get at.

the forge is nice but i dont do a ton of hot shoeing , I learnd cold first and thats whats easy for me. enless I 'm doing big old draft feet. you just have to hit them too hard when there cold! are you doing your own shoing and trimming?
If so you can make a real nice bar shoe by useing a shoe that is 2-3 sizes too big shaping it to the foot then bend the heals in till they touch and welding them with an arc welder or mig, works great. I use that on a little navicular mare here,. I also realy like putting rocker toe on her to makes a huge differance in her comfort . J
