National Speed: 2001 Pontiac Trans Am - Built LQ9 - GT4788 - 1,200whp+...
Now it will be hard not to play around to hear those melodious turbo's singing their song.

There should be some more update pics up soon, I made some more progress on it yesterday.
The intercooler uses duel Bell cores, each rated at 750 hp.
I used a heat exchanger last year, but found it was redundant, seeing as this is a separate system with the ice water tank. The water after the ice melted only ever got luke warm, and still pulled any heat out of the charge air, for street driving. At tthe track full of ice, 60* IAT's were fairly normal, with ambient 80*+
Heat exchanger is really helpful on a system that uses engine coolant through the intercooler system, which is not the case here.
I will have it fired up this week! Stay tuned!

Doesnt matter if it is horizontal or vertical as long as the cores are facing the proper direction.
Very efficient setup, that does a great job at cooling.
The water doesnt not get hot in this setup even after driving in traffic, because it is a self contained setup, with a 7.6 gallon tank. Water has a higher heat latency then air-air.

Stacking the cores would not be as efficient because the cooling occurs within the first few inches traveling through the core and eventually the core is soaked and the rest of the core would no longer provide any cooling to the air charge.
You want the air to contact the max surface area of the core, so placing side by side would double the surface area, instead of stacking.

It is cast wheel.
Zero tuning done on the car yet. Just loaded the base map in it. It will probably tame it a touch at idle when it is tuned.
Rest assured, it is a full custom turbo cam for this setup.
