Is there any reason for the intercooler bypass?

[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 16036713, member: 9628"] To those above who think I may have implied that there "owner modded" S/C cooling system won't work (or doesn't work), I don't think I have ever implied that, heck, if it didn't work, it would have been put back to a way that it did work and the mods that were made would not have been contributed to this discussion. My point was much more simple, degas air mixing into any cooling system flow degrades the systems ability to remove heat, that is a fact. The SVT Engineers, after 2007-2012 decided to minimized the S/C coolant flow through the degas air, just as is the case from the beginning with the engine cooling system that is right next door. If an owner feels that they need to see flow in the reservoir like there was in the 2007-2012 reservoir, that is great, it worked for that 5 year production run, but apparently not as well as is could have, or there would not have been a coolant flow engineering change for 2013. I think adding a larger reservoir is great, but it would sure be nice to "also" keep the 2013/14 SVT Engineer S/C cooling system R&D findings incorporated into that larger reservoir system. <<<Those are just my thoughts on taking advantage to Ford deep pockets ($$$$) cooling system testing and development on the final production 2013 coolant plumbing. I think I also mentioned...............very early in this thread, each owner has specific use for their GT500, so there are going to be variables. My thought was "if" the factory R&D can be kept in place as much as possible with a few tweaks, that would "usually" provide a decent cooling system set up for most owners on here. R [/QUOTE]
