Default Procharger, twin cooler = front sway bar still fit?

I have a 95 Firebird, twin intercooler kit and no sway bar - bought this way.
does anyone have a twin cooler set up with the front sway bar in place?

I can hardly tell where it would go - I'm sure I'd have to remove some tubing - but wonder if it even can happen
thanks

Yes. The front sway bar will fit with the twin intercoolers.

It fits no problem. It's just a pain getting 2 of the headunit mounting bolts in

The LT1 twin intercoolers are 3.50 thick and work great up through 12 psi or so of boost. Past 12 psi I would add methanol injection to keep the inlet air temps down. Here is a link to my brother's '95 Formula from GM High-Tech Oct issue. http://shop.brutespeed.com/Brute-Spe...ed-Formula.htm Bob

Hi Bob
wondered where you went - new name!

the twins on my car have the optional protection around the air filter for street use - the car was tuned without that in place.

Do you think I'll be rich from air restriction?

Will my MAF/PCM help adjust the tune from Nevada to Connecticut driving?

Yes, I have my own business now. Unless you see a huge drop in boost from the added filtration I don't see if going fat on you.

Your ECU will help to keep the air/fuel where it needs to be, but if I were you I would get a wide band air/fuel gauge before going wide open throttle at extreme elevation changes. Bob

I have the Strano 35mm front bar and there are no issues with the intercoolers.

well the car had no driver side sway bar mount bracket b/c the head unit must have been hitting it. I can see the removed the bracket for this reason.
too long a belt?
Before I noticed the missing bracket we had the bar snaked right into position
I bought a sway bracket to bolt the bushing to- hope I can get it all to line up.
BMR k-member, everything else on suspension and front of engine is factory sizes
