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.

I really dont want to cut the front grille of the car or I would... just wondering if there was anything else besides the front mount or the box.

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.
