Horizontal A2A IC(s) Dont have room for FMIC. Was thinking of running 2 A2A IC mounted horizonally simular to the ProCharger F-bodt kits. I found 2 IC rated at 500hp each. I would use a deflector, and possabily a fan on each.(if I have room)
My question is what kind of temp drop can I expect from horizontally mounted IC's compaired to one single vertical FMIC? Would running two IC be too restrictive?? (extra bends to make it work)
I plan on running Meth/water inj. A progressive system from Snowperformance. Meth starts at 3psi and max out at 15psi. Would it just be better not running IC's at all???
Thanks - Ron

Just a deflector isn't going to do much for getting ambient air through the core.
Also, fwiw you have to run them in parallel not series.

ive always run my intercoolers horrozontally. I had the procharger twin kit installed(its for sale) and now running an ebay unit. I don't like the look of the Trans Am with the front of the bumper cut out.. From 0-100 Mph my Iat's raise 20*F. running 15psi boost.
Same run keeping it goint to 126Mph it rose 45*F. I am running the stock air deflector trimmed down to just the center section due to my old intercooler setup. I might get another deflector and see what happens. (or maybe a fan)
