Question How would you do this

Can you get rid of the procharger air box and have a single tube going in to the engine w/o adding a front mount intercooler?

I suppose you could make a Y-out of tubing coming from both intercoolers, but why? Buy an ebay intercooler and do it right if you're trying to get rid of the intake plenum.

You can run the outlet of the blower straight to the intake but I would run meth injection.

I believe there was a member on here that sat their FMIC parallel with the ground using straps. You could do this and not have to cut your car up.

That would be Chevychad https://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-in...c-project.html . Also as for the Y-pipe design while using the Procharger Twin Intercoolers, I saw that on here as well but just can't remember who it is that has that configuration.
