Default OBX intercooler size

Can some one that has one of these confirm this is the size you used. Just wanted to make sure this is the correct size to order before I spend the cash.

OBX intercooler

Dimensions - 23" wide (31" with endtanks), 11.75" tall, 3" thick

Endtanks diameter - 3"
Thank you

That is about what I measured. I think the widest point was 30.5" and the shortest was 25" or so... The IC has 4 welded blot mounts on the top and bottom. Total height from tip of each bolt location is 13"

Thanks man, I was hoping one of the F-bod guys would speak up that have the the front mount too! I've read all the posts but none of them stated which size they were running. Maybe they all take it for granted that this is THE size or something. Who knows.

OBX only has 1 universal IC right now. I was told they are coming out with a smaller unit but I have no further info on it or it's release.

I guess I'm the first impatient one around here, please forgive me. I didn't remember seeing any sizes ever stated but I don't doubt you a bit. I do appreciate your help and I have enjoied reading your updates. So tell me, how fast was your car at the track? I'd love to hear the information.

frcefed98 is trapping mid 120s if I remember correctly at some crazy elevation! I think at a normal track he;d be in the high 120s or even 130. Never did the math for his setup.

NO problem I get impatient too sometimes
Latest video after the OBX FMIC,
http://home.comcast.net/~jsbird1998/fmic.mov
Had to baby it out of the hole on that pass, track never hooks (1.88 60ft)
Have some ET drags coming from houston this week, and going to install some new gears as my current 3.73's are toast. Then I should be able to hook better.
