Default front mount and BOV procharger questions

First question is, would a front mount be any benefit over the stock 3.5' dual intercoolers? Running 8lbs or so im not sure it would be a worth while investment other than for looks.

Second, is replacing the bypass valve with a non-recirculating BOV going to cause any issues like running rich between shifts etc?

When I was in Texas with the Procharger twins after a few wot runs I could feel the power loss due to heat soak. When I switched to the FMIC the power stayed pretty consistent. To me there was a definite benefit.

just go with a 31x12x3 intercooler in the front to soak up all that incoming air. It will have alot more area covered than those tiny hidden procharger intercoolers.

I went with the Synergy kit. Not sure if they still still that kit. It was a straight up everything included kit purchase.
