I have a GT that I just put a Series II Supercharger on. I like it, but I don't like the fact that you cannot see the intercooler. have any of you painted it silver, removed the paint on it, or even replaced your intercooler??? Any input would be helpful. Thanks again.

Are you referring to the heat exchanger? If so there are aftermarket he's out there, although most of them are designed for the 03 Cobra. I just ordered one from Gord (www.gordsfordperformance.com) that is silver.

Shaun,

Do you plan to compare the two heat exchangers to see if there is any difference in intercooler coolant temperature? I think a thermometer with a wire lead can be coupled to the sending unit under the coolant reservoir. A digital thermometer will display a numerical number, which is easier to read compared to the stock temp. gauge with its ambiguous tick marks.

That's a good idea, hopefully I'll get some numbers by the time I'm done with the install, possibly this weekend.
