Bumper support is used so you can remove the original foam support and mount the intercooler in its place and still have the bumper supported. Here's a couple of my support...

Provides more room, saves weight, and gives a good place to make mounts off of.

Thanks man..
The injectors are going to limit me to 1000RW roughly for now (FIC 127s)... I'd like to see 5.4-5.6s@130+ (mid 8s@165+) like that still though which I don't think will be an issue with everything acting right.
When I go Dominator and move to a larger injector I'll turn it up and see 1200ish Rw area I'd think. I built the combo for "on kill" being 1200ish Rw.. In all honesty it'd make more but I'm not sure the block, crank, or keeping the heads down will be possible over that.
LSX block and nice heads are in mind later... How this motor acts is solely dependent on how soon or not soon that happens.
I have the same bumper support BTW... Going to weld on our own tabs for IC mounting.

You guys are going big time
Looking forward to seeing her finished, gook luck triple digits is no joke.
Hot side 100% done! Actually we have to change the angle of the wastegates slightly tonight but that won't take long at all.
Bought the 2.25 V band assemblies off of ebay. The V bands were fine.. The clamps were junk.
Seller is sending me 2 more that he says are higher quality.
I didn't expect much for 20$.... The other choice was stainless @ like 50$/set.
So about those updates.... Well I'm sorry to disappoint but there are little updates on the car.
I've been -very- busy with "life" the past month or so as have we all been.
Trans Am updates- I ordered my Ms3-Pro ECU today. Waiting for Jerry to get done with the PNP harness and I will be ready to install it.
The radiator has tabs welded on to mount.
The gate has been angled properly now.
I've bought a wideband, some more header wrap, some long plug wires for the relocation, and some other odds and ends.. Nothing too big.
Truck updates-
I have an 07 NNBS white crew cab 1500.
I put some new 14+ GMC replicas on it in 20" gloss black.
Installed a drop kit 2/4.
Finally put in my HID kit since I was down to only 1 good headlight bulb. LOL
And having some damage fixed that happened a little bit ago.
This is actually what I am taking to Fest. Hey, at least I'm there! HAHA
Altima (the beater)
Fixed where the trunk wouldn't shut anymroe
Fixed my brake light switch so the brake lights will go off
Installed new CD player
Other than that.. I've just been swamped for life.
The weekend after Fest I will have much more updates on the car! Promise!
did you already get rid of the stock truck wheels?
I still have them.
I got some parts in..
Walbro 450
3.55 gears
MAP sensor
Ms3-PRO ECU from DIYautotune.com
I also started ripping wires out. I'm going to rewire the entire car. Have to order a new fuse block to control the body controls.
Still waiting on the engine harness for the ecu.
I also got rid of heat. And am planning a few other changes that should cut some weight.
We're back working on it regular again so stay tuned. Pics to come.
Sorry for no pic updates. I'm going to fix my phone today so I can start uploading pictures again.
Ordered:
ATI balancer
beta PNP harness for the Ms3-PRO ECU
trans cooler w/ fan
fuse block for body harness
All I really lack on parts is:
Derale pusher (1)
Fuel/trans lines/fittings
hood rails/fasteners
Other than that it is stuff I need to get but not mandatory to drive
Parachute
Kirkey pass seat bracket + 2 covers
removable steering wheel hub
lexan front/rear
etc
