Twin intercoolers question.

Just brain storming on my build to come. I would like FI, but I'm not cutting holes in my Trans am bumper. My question is has anyone made or tried twin intercoolers behind each corner of the bumper? Behind the two scoops where the turn signals are. My lights have been removed so I have two open holes for fresh air on each side. I'm leaning towards a turbo build. I have considered the twins that come with the procharger, but I have splitter on my car. It seems it may restrict the air flow to them. So has this been done or would it even work? I am looking to be in the mid to high 600hp range.
Thanks to all for help.

You could try running ducting (like brake cooling ducting). Just an idea. I run twins on my Vette.

Procharger used to make a twin intercooler setup for f-bodies. You can find them for sale used sometimes

Could always do a pair of a2w intercoolers. Easy to package and easy to run water lines to a tank in the rear.

that's a good idea for a t/a. if don't want to jack w the bumper.
cost a lil more. but leaves bumper area alone. the heat exchanger is not as big as radiator or ac radiator.
