    Pricey to get here, but I've heard nothing but good things about it. Someone did some comparitive testing awhile back on NAM and it was the best of the aftermarket air to air IC's at the time...

    If the GP I/C had not become available to me when it had I would have gone with the GRS at the time.

    Can't remember, how did the GRS stack up against the GP?

    Does anyone have comparative performance data?

    There was a test done by a fellow on NAM. The result was the GRS had a bigger temp delta in vs. out than any other aftermarket IC available.

    From my experience having one, its aerodynamics aren't as good as the GP intercooler, resulting in better cooling for the first 10 minutes on a racetrack but then it'll heatsoak more than the GP or stock. Bottom line; the GRS is good for auto-x or street.

    P.S. I have one for sale if you're interested!

    Aftermarket ICs are a dubious proposition....

    enter into it with your eyes and wallet open.

    Me too, I picked up a GP I/C and love it.
