Sorry the quote i gave you was on 93oct but cali only has 91oct so the number's change a little not to sure but i hear reese tuning is one of the best in cali so look them up i seen simmilar setup's like your's and they all made alot of power.If i was you instead of cams for 20whp and 1000dollar's with install you can get a aquiamist kit for the same price intalled and make 400whp and 430wtq easy and you'll be mich happier mid 11's track car daily driver ot bad right,also sweeping up viper's,z06vett's,and porsche's no problem.

I wouldnt get the anodized either... It looks cheap! Paint the top section of the intercooler flat black, so if by chance the hood gets popped, they shouldnt notice... Im in SoCal too, and if you need any recommendations on anything... hit me up! Im sure all of us will be more that happy to help ya out, point ya in the right direction!

The cam's on a mivec don't make huge power gains unless you have a valetrain train upgrade to take advantage of the 8,200rpm revs and upgrade turbo then they make sick gains like 50whp easy,go with aquiamist for now and get the cam's when you get a bigger turbo.

Up to 500whp our 3" core is a great choice. If you think at some point you might exceed that power figure then the 3.5" will offer no compromises for the short term at lower power levels, but will flow the air you need for your future plans. Feel free to get a hold of me if you have any questions!

Hey Tom didnt mean to make it seem like your intercoolers (in black) looks cheap, just not a good look unless you have a black car. IMHO But then again Im into chrome...so I will be making a purchase fairly soon now! Im in debate between the 3" and 3 1/2"... I know that the 3" would suffice, but I dont know if Im ever gonna upgrade turbos... I want to, but unsure if it will happen...
We know as a community that ETS makes awesome products!

I know theres a particular paint to use, but dont remember... I havent gotten that far yet. Im sure some on here will chime in.

Fixed for you man And no worries, everyone is entitled to their opinion. That's why we offer natural, anodized and polished intercooler finishes

The polished intercooler will have mirror finish polished top and bottom plates, as well as endtanks. Here's a picture of an anodized black intercooler installed:



And a picture of similar material to our raw endtank aluminum, all polished up

Natural = plain metal
Polished = polished metal
Anodized = painted black

By the way it is "okay" not "k". Are you that lazy you can't type a few more letters? Come on now.
