Default Twins VS. FMic

Wow... there is alot of information from what people have seen on their own setups but, thats it most people dont have the exact same thing. Believe me i get calls all day long from people saying i want the same as this guy (or gal) but i want to slightly change it. Here is what i can offer. If someone wants to step up and provide information on a set of twins and a front mount intercooler I will post the results for the two setups. First thing I will need is compressor specs. The next thing i will need to know is tube size or bar size. The next thing will be the number of fins per inch. The last would be W"xH"xD". The bad thing that could over shadow both of these that cant be calculated would be the way piping is setup. How close does one vs. the other get to picking up heat from engine, exhaust, radiator, etc. Twins can be setup to flow as much as needed. The easy thing that is known by everyone will be that there is much more airflow/pressure at the nose of the car. Let me know.............

We allready have designs for twins (air to air or water to air) that are much larger then those.

The issue with Ati twins is flow is restricted to about 700 hp. Below 650hp they seem to flow ok.
