The Vibrant Performance 12973 is a high-efficiency air-to-water intercooler core designed for demanding forced induction applications. This compact aluminum core delivers superior cooling performance compared to traditional air-to-air designs by leveraging water's enhanced heat transfer properties.

Key Features:

• Premium bar and plate construction from 6061 aluminum for maximum durability
• Core dimensions: 12 inches wide x 5 inches tall x 5 inches deep
• Optimized internal fin design for exceptional heat exchange efficiency
• Compact, lightweight design allows flexible mounting options
• Does not require ambient airflow, unaffected by speed or ambient temperature changes
• Suitable for high boost applications up to 1,000 horsepower

Ideal for drag racing, road racing, and extreme street performance builds where consistent charge air cooling is critical. The air-to-water design excels in applications with limited front-end airflow or where packaging constraints prevent traditional air-to-air intercooler installation. Professional-grade construction ensures reliability even under the most punishing racing conditions.
