Fmic??
Fmic?? I am trying to find some info on how people are getting air to their FMIC with a 93-97 firebird nose? I dont want to cut up the bumper, but without cutting it doesnt look like it will get enough air. Thanks
We did have a pic of an LT1 nose we cut, but you dont want to do that.
I agree with Westside, you dont have very many options except ATI's set up.
The nose of the LT1 is a little longer, you may have room to put a big single at a slight angle and make some sort of air damn. That may be cheaper and more efficient then the 2 smaller ATi intercoolers.

If you don't mind a little time and fabbing, a custom solution could work well for you. Something along the lines of say two side mounted intercoolers would work very well.
If airflow is a concern then simple ducting from the front fascia or undertray is always possible.

I bought the grill from Summit Racing. It came as a big sheet and I cut what I needed and used 3M body shop adhesive to lock the grill in place.

Subaru owners sometimes call their TMIC's "innerheaters" due to the fact that the top of a blazing hot engine is not an ideal location for an intercooler.

trtturbo do you have any pictures of the nose you cut up. I have decided that is the only option cause i dont want to do the twin intercoolers.
