Need ideas for intercooler..D1sc Alright so I'm currently just getting everything straight while saving my last few pennies for a D1SC. This is going onto a stock bottom end ls1 in my 99 Trans am SO therefore will only be pushing 6-8#.(at first 
)
Will I be fine using the twin 3.5 or 4.5 intercoolers?? Or should i upgrade to a FMIC?!
If a Front mount..DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO RUN ONE AND KEEP FOGLIGHTS IN STOCK LOCATION?! Im fine with cutting the bird out of the nose, but I love the fogs...anyone ever done this?
Thanks

do some research on the forced induction page. their are some nice stickies and thread with info . The fmic is best and yes you can keep the fogs but you need to make some brackets .
Look into getting an 8 rib setup right from the start. the 6 rib sucks pain and simple. Check into the sdce tensioned setup or the aster tensioner setup .
Also when you do this plan on running meth and a sd tune . I was dumb and had to pay for multiple tunes. I was maf tune , then a meth tune and then finally i maxxed out the maf and went sd and had to pay for different tunes.

Oh yeah I have been researching it a lot...also basically stalking your threads along with a few other haha
I've got a progressive devils own meth kit, and am going to be sure of the 8rib and whichever of those 2 brackets I can find cheaper.I was hoping to get buy on a maf tune for a while.....at what point was yours maxed out, forcing you to go speed density?
I have seen alot of the threads about mounting the fogs and such, theres not a FMIC that is like....I dunno...different shaped or anything to keep them? haha

I was on 4 to 6 lbs and a msg tune was fine. not the best but worked. but once I went to ten lbs I needed to get rid of the maf. is want smooth after shifts and driveability suffered.
go sd tune from the start
no front mounts with keep the factory mounting of the fogs. You have to come up with a mount. but it's been done
I know their was a few guys making 7xx hp with the twin 4.5 intercoolers.
