Default Flyin miata intercooler hp rating

Does anyone know the hp rating and flow rate for the flyin miata intercooler? They don't really have any info on it. Trying to decide if I should swap to a vibrant intercooler since I will be running a gbc 20-300 turbo on a built engine

If you have the FM intercooler already I'd just run it. The 2560 and 20-300 seem reasonably similar as far as power output goes. I know FM doesn't spec their kit to be pushed to the limits of the 2560, but I'd assume the IC is sized pretty appropriately for it regardless.

Also, looking at core size, Fab9's unit rated for 350 WHP is 380.25 cubic inches, while FM's core is 360 cubic inches. Obviously the quality of the core is going to have an effect, but I'd imagine the quality between those two vendors would be similar and 20 cubic inches doesn't seem like it's going to net you a ton.

If you're considering a swap to a Vibrant intercooler, it might be worth looking at the specifications for that model, as Vibrant often provides detailed flow data. Given that you're planning to run a GBC 20-300 https://tropical-casino.com/ turbo on a built engine, ensuring you have an intercooler that can handle your power goals is crucial. Ultimately, the choice might depend on your specific performance targets and any space or fitment considerations in your setup.
