Should I ditch the intercooler? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So I've been thinking of ditching the intercooler on my car for a while now. The lag between shifts is bad.
Car is going on corn. Car is on 22lbs of boost. Was going to pipe the turbos directly into the throttle body and add a small nozzle of meth to help with intake temps.
It is a street car.

Keep the intercooler and install a no lift shift device

First pic is lifting off the throttle during shifts
- top white line is throttle position, orange line is boost

Second is NLS (no-lift shift)

Any perceived lag issues are certainly not down to having an intercooler.

Unless it's the biggest intercooler in the world with the longest plumbing

A good amount of piping and big intercooler.
These are also eBay turbos.

Money would be spent on proper turbos

LOL yes twin 7675s on a 6.0/M6 combo would help him with his lag problem
