Default 93-97 Turbo'd Trans Am guys

Ok I'm doing an LS swap on my 93 TA and installing a Huron Speed turbo kit. What have you guys done to the front end to bring in more air for the intercooler? I want to keep use of my fog lights because it is a street car. Thanks

You can find some images of people cutting up the front end of their bumper, some look nicer than others; some just dont run a front bumper. as for the lights... I deleted mine fog lights for functionality and looks ( have the formula front bumper) But you can adjust the headlights to point down more.

If youve got any images, do you think you could send me those, showing how it is set up ? Since Firebirds dont really have a grill, ive always thought that A2W would be a little more worth it in that situation.

The setup is pretty simple, Frozen Boost 2,000HP cooler in the nose right behind the grill, 1 inch lines, aluminum 2-3 gallon tank in the t-top holder with a Rule 2000 pump inside.
Yes you'll spend more than an A2A but your IAT's will be much more controllable, I only run ambient temp water and my temps never get high.
In fact with the oversized cooler, my temps drop when the airflow through the cooler is increased when making a pass.

Wolfe Racecraft bolt in which I'll be removing for a MWC chassis 8.5 cage at some point.
