Default What size intercooler do I need?

I'm going to be going with a 76 or 88 for around 750rwhp. What dimensions are you guys using for the FMIC on the camaros?

Would something like this work?

That might be a little on the low side for you, I think it would work but not as well as it could.

You should keep looking and see if you can find one that advertises 850-900HP

Cool, I didn't even see the HP rating until I looked at it again. Thanks.

That's kinda what I'm asking. What sizes do I need. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough.

No problem, a pretty common size that easily fits is a 31x12x(how ever thick you want it, usally 3 or 4 inch). That's an easy fit that would go right where you bumper support is. But I am sure you could get a wider one with a little extra fab and planning on the piping.

So if you want that 31x12x3 in your link that would work, but you might wanna look into getting a x4 since every little bit helps.
