[s-cars] An interesting FMIC "fact" (?)

[Dave Forgie]

>From the Bell Intercooler website, I found a little tidbit that
encourages me to think of a smaller, less costly, less intrusive but,
you know what?, maybe pretty good "medium silver" intercooler:

What factors affect efficiency of an Air-to-Air Intercooler? Frontal
area: This is a rapidly decreasing function. If the proper core size is
used, then doubling it will definitely not double the efficiency. More
likely, doubling the core would raise the efficiency about 5% and cost
twice the  necessary amount and add substantially to the weight.

Food for thought, Dave F.
