Intercooler or not
I've been starting my new turbp build on my 69 nova and kinda run into a problem. There's just not a lot of room up in front of the radiator for a intercooler . Especially with a stock hood latch. Does anybody know what the difference in my iat's will be. I've run a few blow thru carbs without intercoolers . But i'm thinking I might try non intercooled on this car what do ya think? Setup will be 6.0 with s480 my old Fairmont setup.

Yeah I've talked to a few guys that have ran without a cooler and they said there iat's where sky high with a efi setup.. I think if I take my stock hood latch off I might be able to fit the intercooler off my Fairmont. There's not much room and I didn't want to take the latch off but looks like im gonna have too.

I have a intercooler from race parts solutions there 4 core cooler. The only reason I said take the latch off is I'd like to get the cooler up high to get it in the grille so it'll do some good. How high does yours sit ls1 nova??
