Currently it decorates the left rear corner of the Banks race shop.
For that application you don't need intercoolers, nor are they useful 
for a 5 second drag strip run.  Probably  doesn't have a radiator for 
the same reason.  If you want to specialize, there is a lot of cleaning 
up you could do to the URS- radiator, air conditioning, intercooler, 
etc.
