Looks decent. Does give you the end tanks to do short route piping. It's not as thick as some of the others I have seen but otherwise it's a nice sixed front mount.

Looks like heatsoak waiting to happen, but I bet it's pretty efficient. For a drag car only application it may be pretty damn good.

I got mine off ebay. It looks great works fine and was an extruded tube/fin design. I didnt get mine from that guy though, but was looking at his.

Also you can get Cores with and without end tanks a bit cheaper as well. Depends on what you want to do with piping and whatnot as well.

It will be going on a drag only car FWD. I am looking to run high10s to low11s on a serious budget.

I just can't see spending $1200-$1500 on an I/C

Thanks for the input guys.

Probably not actually THAT bad. When I first looked at it I thought it was a tube and fin design. I read it and I guess its a bar and plate. Its thin though, and most of it is covered up by the bumper. Its also only about the same CI as the Buschur street core, which I have and tend to heatsoak pretty quickly at relatively low boost on the 50 trim.

On a race car you could deffinately get away with that IC.

My bumper cover is already cut out for a large "Race-Core" FMIC.

Hopefully the welds on the endtanks aren't too shitty.
