Show me your intercoolers! I took the leap last week and got in on a group buy for a custom bracket set to bolt up a Powerdyne BD11A to my Camaro... 3.8L 
However, now I'm looking into intercooling and I'm trying to find a good alternate location to the typical front mount, for stealth and so I don't have to remove my crash foam. I removed the AC a couple weeks ago and was almost thinking I could fit a small intercooler horizontally in front of the radiator where the AC condenser was.
Anyway, I'm looking for pictures of different intercooler set-ups to spark some inspiration. I realize there have probably been 1.295 million of these threads in the past, but in about 2 days of searching I've yet to find one, so bear with me.
Thanks!

I like it! How does it compare to the twin 4" intercoolers ATI sells with their kits? How hard was it to mount? Does it restrict the radiator from getting air?

From what the guy I got my intercooler from he said this IC will fit the camaro. His name is Steve

The core itself is 24x12x3....The core would/can handle 650+ seen the same core used on several boosted LS motors 550-850hp (dynoed at our shop). I Looked a lot into making this IC and learned a bit too, its better to have a taller shorter core than the other way and its better to have the core not too thick (ie not over 3" is what I have read) this all of course depends on were you have room the in-outlets are 2.5" so it will fit the stock hoses.

I just didn't see me spending $825 for an IC.
