Tick SBC/BBC 1800HP Air-to-Water Intercooler By Tick Performance

Take your SBC or BBC build to the next level with a complete performance induction system — pairing the proven Holley Hi-Ram 105 mm plenum with our high-capacity Air-to-Water intercooler, engineered and built in-house in North Carolina.

Our custom-fabricated A2W intercooler delivers aggressive charge cooling without cluttered piping or hard-to-fit plumbing. It bolts directly to any Holley Hi-Ram or Low-Ram intake, supports up to 1,800 horsepower, and preserves a clean, professional under-hood layout.

Why It Stands Out

• Maximum power potential: Engineered for builds up to 1,800 HP, this system gives serious performance-car builds the cooling headroom they need.

• Efficient, reliable cooling: The 4.5" thick, USA-made core and Air-to-Water design keep intake temps down, densify charge air, and reduce the risk of detonation — increasing power, torque, and engine longevity.
  

• High-quality billet construction: The intercooler housing is machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum, giving superior strength, corrosion resistance, and durability compared with cast alternatives.
  

• Flexible plumbing: Four -16 AN female inlet/outlet ports give full flexibility for custom cooling loops; optional block-off plugs are available to accommodate any setup.

• Easy installation & clean packaging: Because the A2W core bolts directly to your intake manifold, installation is simpler and more compact than traditional front-mounted air-to-air intercoolers — eliminating messy plumbing.
