Need advice

Im about to purchase an intercooler. And need any input from those actually running these cores.
I got offered a victory racing 4" but i cant seem to find any info on it and would like to know what you think.
My other options are a ets 3.5 or 4" or vrsf 4".
My end goal with this car is about 700whp. So i dont want to underbuy an intercooler.
Would like information like temp drops, hp and boost support.

ETS if you want a good core (or any other big name brand with a proven track record of quality intercoolers)

Pretty much any intercooler is going to be the same for the first run, where quality and fin density / design comes into play is heat soak after that first run.

No-name vs. ETS. Run 1 numbers will close enough you could write them off as insignificant. Every subsequent run the numbers will get exponentially further and further apart

ETS could never give me their supposed dyno charts for comparisons on their newer core vs. the Garrett cores. I got a lot of lip service and empty promises and was told I would get the dyno charts, that they were on an old computer, or some other nonsense like that. I emailed several times asking for them and always got the run-around. Maybe it's because I already had bought an ETS FMIC. Maybe it's because these dyno charts never even existed.

Garrett cores are proven. I'd just get a Garrett core FMIC.
