Already got that covered. Read the thread.

We've ran them in series(procharger 3.5" ones on my ltd at 700+ rwhp and they did fine, we saw zero mph gain going to a 31x12 fmic.

Did you check the IAT difference? Was it an eBay FMIC? Lots of variables at play... Good to know the Procharger dual intercoolers can be run in series and make over 700rwhp, though.

It had a difference, not much tho, IIRC around 25 degrees higher with twin ic vs the fmic on a long highway pull. Both are blocked mostly by the bumper so I ran higher iats. I swapped it out because I was thinking it might be a restriction, but it wasn't.

Actually it was 855rwhp.

I still have a brand new pair of these Griffins on the shelf if someone wants a deal on them. Not the most efficient for IAT's but they did work and have zero compromise to the cooling system.


Pics here of how I set them up on my car-

I may. Send me some pictures of them off the car and the price you were looking to get. Dimensions (including inlet/outlet diameter) are a plus.

Update. INTMD8s intercoolers weren't the correct dimensions to be mounted up front, so I had to keep looking for intercoolers and found a CXracing type that might work. I think if I hack up the bumper support bar or remove it, I could go with a larger intercooler. Next step for this project is to see how much space there is to work with by installing a de-foamed bumper support bar, then checking space without a bumper support bar installed.

Anyways, I bought a spare bumper for $10 and cut out the drivers side fog/DRL. Cut and taped up a cardboard box with the dimensions of the CXracing intercooler. Just cut away a small triangle of the support foam and pushed it in there and let it hang. It's drooping on the outside edge but if it was mounted to something it would angle the rows like in the original Photoshop.

If you use vertical flow intercoolers, this would work. The pipe to the TB would be similar to the old APS turbo kits. Don't laugh at my paint skillz !

I've never been a fan of A2A intercooling on 4th gen F-Bodys because in most cases the air flow thru the cooling system has to modified and the cooling system suffers.

But you have put a interesting twist on a F-Body A2A system.
I like it, it looks great! And the factory air flow thru the radiator can remain stock.
As far as turn signals are concerned LED lights are cheap and easy to work with.
You should have no problem putting turn signals back on the car.

So I have four of these LED bars that I was gonna try to use somehow (if not for the DRLs, then engine bay lighting):



But I was looking around earlier this week and found these, only problem is they are not waterproof so I would need to figure out how to waterproof them:


I thought about vertical flow ones, but I want to avoid using them simply because I don't like vertical rows. If it turns out that vertical flow intercoolers are the best fitment, I'll go with 'em.

It's either going to be routed like how you have it (split one tube into each IC then join before going into throttle body, like stock ProCharger system) or like this:


Thanks. The stock ProCharger system for F-bodies actually uses this idea without involving any cutting of the bumper. Keeps the stock radiator and stock plastic air channels. They lay the intercoolers flat, where the black plastic fog light access panels are normally attached. Here is a pic for reference:

put a alky control methonal system on it and don't run an intercooler.

looks neat . I think im just going to go with a fmic , it just looks like too much plumbing . I already have a ton of piping with the stock procharger twins.
