Full Race Intercooler / CAC Upgrade Kit price listed and added to cart!
Im always checking Full Race's website and have been in contact with Geoff about the new CAC, so i was very happy today to finally see a price listed. A price that is not outrageous by any means. Im heading down to Phoenix next week for the marathon and hopefully a visit to Full Race to pick this item up! Buying it for myself as a "first marathon completed gift" and I'm already beyond excited. Hopefully ill be able to post some pics while im there next weekend!

Also need opinions on which look would be the best. Im having a really hard time deciding between leaving it unfinished or having it painted black and going for a "sleeper". Any thoughts, comments, opinions would be appreciated. Heres a pic of the front of my truck to give you an idea, also keep in mind the 6 bar grille will end up as Tuxedo Black Metallic.

I too noticed last night that the CAC was now available from Full Race. I have not read anywhere(on the Full Race site) about any gains from installing the Full Race CAC. I do understand that there could be potential gains under certain conditions. i.e. warm humid days while under constant boost such as a towing or a heavier load situation. I don't know if that would really mean simply preserving the stock rated power or gaining. I'm assuming that the PCM would pull timing and/or boost with increased IAT therefore I am assuming that the FR CAC will preserve the stock rating when a stock CAC could become heat soaked.
My main reason for wanting to change the CAC is for reliability and the piece of mind of eliminating the possibilty of condensation that we know can occur with the stock CAC. As far as cost, I think that it is money better spent than on a cat-back exhaust.
I don't like the aluminum look of the Full Race CAC and an additional $150. for black anodizing seems a bit steep. I have a couple of hot rods that have aluminum radiators and I always spray them satin black with Eastwood's radiator paint. Cost, about $10. I know, it isn't anodizing....
I have pretty much made up my mind that I will be upgrading the stock CAC. It is simply a matter of Full Race or Wagner. There isn't a lot of data on either one to make the descision though.

Nice price and def. a worthwhile upgrade for the heavy haulers out there for sure.
A quick note for the men at Full Race. I see on your website it lists the ability to use a snow plow with the upgraded IC. I think the limiting factor on the new F-150's (minus the 6.2L equipped) is the EPAS (electric steering), not necessarily the IC location' although its certainly an issue as well.
If anyone buys this with the idea of snow plowing you might want to refer them to their owner manual. Id hate to see someone give you grief and bad press because they trashed their steering with a snow plow and said you could do it with the upgraded IC.

Lookin' for Trouble
I want to know if this is worth the money. The current one is a fin style intercooler and not a bar and plate (better, more cooling surface area) but, it's efficient and should be good up to decent power. IMO
Go with Silver. You're into upgrading and it's kinda hard to be sleeper with an EcoBeast badge over the Ford emblems and murdered out.
The truck looks really good by the way. One of the best I've seen thus far.
