Default Intercooler & Powerlevels on a Trans Am

I have a question regarding power levels and an intercooler (or intercoolers)... When I build a setup, I don't want people knowing I have an intercooler, it's not exactly the best thing to do, but I want it hidden (or hard to see). It's save to say I want my car looking aggressive, without people knowing I have 'that much' horsepower under the hood.

Is 700rwhp doible with air-to-air intercooler(s) that arent really visible and pump gas, regardless of displacement?

Over the next year, I'm planning to get the money in that'll let me go *****-out and do whatever setup I want with a Trans Am. I've always said I'd goto LPE for the TT 427 setup, but I'm not sure if that'll keep A/C and P/S after it's fabbed for the f-body... Anyways, back to the original question... Is there a way to get major power on 93 while not exactly giving away that you've got twins?

Here is some pics.Just don't cut out the bumper and maybe drill real small holes that you can't see through.

Also the graph is there.You would think this is a stock car with a Catback when it pulls in if the bumper wasn't open

It wouldn't benefit me as much as indimd8's in front of the wheel intercoolers, would it? Has anyone done anything like that? I've thought about doing something like that..

With camaro's is much easier to do the FMIC stuff... Yours looks great.

I've seen INTMD8's setup and PM'ed him a couple time.. I'd seriously consider them over LPE. He told me his setup was reliable, like LPE's... That's mainly what I want, power and reliability... LPE's 427 kit is contains a FMIC. I'm sure they'd be willing to do a setup like INTMD8's where they move the intercoolers around, but I'm sure they'd also charge me a good bit. INT was tuned on a mix of 93 and 110 with staged injection, but it would still be good for 700rwhp on 93 I'd think. Still more power than LPE's with less displacement.

Sometimes I think I'm going to be asking too much by the time I order everything..
