Is it going overboard getting the Rapid replacement Intercooler which is around a grand to buy or is a FPV intercooler okay? What will the rapid one do better at that output?Thanks in advance....

Rapids seems to be a good value unit and would be better than a BA/BF FPV one.

Spend the extra money and get a decent cooler. One that doesn't leak at the welds.
