Intercooler Clean

how? if the engine is directly coupled to the wheels - how for the same engine revs will the wheels turn faster?

as a **** poor simile - if yu hold a broom stick and rotate it at 3 revs per minute - the other end turns at 3 revs per minute - now give the broomstick to a body builder - if he turns the broomstick at 3 revs per minute, does the broomhead turn faster - no.

I don't see how it would alter the speed. However maybe it goes faster uphills?

Broom example is good, if the engine was stripped and rebuilt to produce an extra 100 BHP this still does not alter the fact that at x revs you can do x speed. You could argue that it gets to x speed quicker but at the end of the day cleaning the intercooler will not reduce your revolutions at a given speed.

I'm no scientist or boffin, but if the engine is running more efficiently due to having cleaned the intercooler, it will produce more power for a given rev range, therefor you will go faster at the same revs, please correct me if i'm wrong

I consider myself corrected, thanks
