>>A good question for you.  I just saw an intercooler on the web and was
wondering if anyone has ever installed an intercooler on a normally
aspirated engine?  Seems that it would help to cool the intake air down.
Anyone?  TIA!!>>

And a damn good answer. Shure people have tried that, and maybe a few thinks it give better performance but that's not the case. The ic makes a restriction in the airflow and the very tiny gain from the colder air wouldn't make up for the loss in airflow.

It's not helping performance until you boost past 0,5bar soo thats why you see turbo cars without ic too.
