So no lift needed? Do you need to jack up the front? Ramps?

It all depends on the quality of the core mishimoto used. If it's good it may be better. If it's not a good core, it could be worse even though it's more volume.

I've done a few WOT pulls. With this current texas weather of heat index above 105 if cruising temps after 30 min are 125F, as soon as I go WOT they drop down to 105-110 at the end of a pull. With my stock intercooler they would drop to 115 and increase to 130-135ish at the end of the pull.

You guys probably see me pushing the whipple intercooler quite often.
it’s only because it’s a direct fitment and price point (at least 4 times a year it can be had for 15% off from multiple vendors) I’ve had the full race and it wasn’t worth the trouble.
I’m sure the mishimoto or Wagner are just as good if not better.
When I upgrade my wifes expedition I will do a direct fitment intercooler and auto octane tune from gearhead.

They have gone down hill in the last couple years and their customer service sucks.
Even Ford stopped using them as an r&d partner.

I have. A number of folks have had issues with the Gen 2 downpipes sealing and clearing the transmission it seems and not a word.
