Forced air newb. A couple questions.

I am building a 5.3 with a side mount whipple supercharger. I'm thinking about intercooling it. Is the proper order air filter, maf, throttle body, supercharger, intercooler then engine? That is a lot of volume of air between the throttle plate and the intake, will that cause a problem?

The only fabricating would be for the intercooler. The side mount kit is exactly that, it was never intended to mount above the intake. I already own the supercharger. I just would like to keep IAT's as low as possible. My goals are just to have a nice driver that may go to the track a couple of times a year. It would be nice to see a 12 second time at some point as well.

12s as a goal? What is this going into, what transmission and weight?
12s shouldn't be an issue with any sort of forced induction on an LS, even without an intercooler.

My biggest concern is keeping IAT's down without dealing with meth.

I found someone else that has done an intercooler on the whipple. It appears to have worked well until he wanted more boost. So now I'm looking at intercoolers. From what I see it looks like treadstone has a reasonable price withl good IAT drop. What do you guys think?
