I upgraded to the Torq Dual pass heat exchanger which is twice the size of the intercooler/HX that came with the KB kit. Not sure how much it cost but I would just upgrade to an AFCO or torq dual pass HX and get the fans to go with it.

Looks good from what I can see. I've looked into upgrading the internal intercooler in my Maggie for the same reasons they are addressing. No matter how big of a heat exchanger you install, once you reach the limitations of the intercooler core, it will only help with recovery, not actual cooling of IATs during a pull. It looks like this, combined with a dual pass HX, will be really effective in lowering IATs during a run.
