Default Intercoolers:Twins VS Front Mount?

Hye guys i was just wondering what kind of gains should i be expecting if i were to go to a front mount intercooler versus my twin intercoolers? am i can have more lag if i goto a front mount?
has anyone went from twin intercoolers to a front mount? if so how much hp did you pick up?
btw my car has a built 347/meth/13psi, procharger d-1.
and does anyone have any reccomendations for a front mount?

I switched from the twins to front mount because of scraping issues, as for gains i didnt really felt much of diffrence. I also got it from ebay the cx racing brand.

The single front mount will prolly do better for ya as the air doesnt have to divided up 2x. Making for a b igger restriction. Also usually the front mounts are bigger in height and thickness making them less restrictive in that aspect as well. I cant imagine any reason to go with twins unless you dont have the room for a front mount. GL!

Finally some answers!!! haha, thanks guys... i like the setup i have right now... but someone told me they picked up 100hp from twins to a front mount!!! found it hard to believe! so thats why i was pondering the idea of going to a front mount... Im not real big on advertising the intercooler anyways, and when you go the front mount route you have to take the front lisence plate cover off, and some even take the fog lights out...
