There used to be an Intercooler test results chart of....
Intercooler Brand
Measurements
Inlet temp
Pressure drop
It was long ago, maybe 2005 era, so any new intercooler won't be on it but that was good info. Maybe someone will do an updated version.
For street bruisers I'd do SLIC, best pressure drop available and use alky for additional cooling. I'm SLLIC, only 1psi total pressure drop and E85, sick spool and keep that turbo in the efficient island on the comp map.
