I believe mine was something like a 28" x 8 x 4 and I laid it flat (facing down) right between the air damn and the front bumper, I couldn't have the car stealth if I whacked the front end up, so that's where I chose to put it. On the intercooler, it says treadstone.

Are you getting enough airflow to the intercooler? And also are you getting enough air to the radiator with that setup...? Seems it would block most of the incoming air to the radiator, resulting in higher operating temps.

I sell a front mount intercooler kit for $850.00 complete for the LS1 F Body cars for the ATI ProChargers. This includes a 31 x 12 x 4 intercooler and mounting bracket, mandrel bent steel tubing with bead rolled ends, 4 and 5 ply silicone hose connectors and T Bolt clamps. Bob

Thanks Bob!

Being right in front of the air dam, air is being pushed up through the intercooler before it hits the radiator... I didn't notice any increase in water temps... the car usually always stays in the 170's.

Heres we did one at FLP but it was a one off custom job. We bent the piping inhouse and the intercooler was designed by Precision Turbo to our specs. Hooked up to a F1 procharger it with a small nitrous shot it made 889 hp on a A4.

Procharging Is an awsome way to get mad power but it is hard to contain, I want to get into the 10s and wanted to go D1SC but it is too hard and i would go way over my budget trying to! So i think i might go 383 or turbo i dont know yet but you procharger people keep it in mind it is very hard to harness the power.

How is it "hard to harness the power" of a procharger setup?

Because look at the power people get for the procharger, now look at there 1/4 mile times! It is sad to see 11.22 at 590+rwhp!!! I love the systems but you need $10,000 + to get the power to hook and run 10s or high 9s. My buddy has an Ls1 with a D1sc and he has 622rwhp and he is only running 11.01 and he has a 10 bolt with 3.73 gears with MT's.

I went 12.3 with a P600B on a completely stock LT1. Didn't even have a converter. I think a lot has to do with driver & how the car is setup.

Maybe your buddy needs to work on his suspension setup. Regardless of how you make your power supercharger, NA, turbo, or nitrous if you dont have a suspension to handle the power and a good driver for M6 your not going to go anywhere. Ive seen stock Vipers run 14s doesnt mean the cars a piece of junk, just a bad driver.

KP runs in the mid nines with an ATI ProCharger D-1SC with an LS6 camshaft. He's only making 600 rwhp, it's all in the chassis. Bob

Our '95 Formula has an internally bone stock engine that has never been opened up. With an ATI ProCharger P-1SC at 9 psi, it runs 11.31 at 118 mph. We picked up 6 to 10 rwhp yesterday (6 rwhp on the lowest run, 10 rwhp on the highest) by switching this car over from conventional 5w30 engine oil to Klotz synthetic 10w30. It will be interesting to see how this translates to the track. Bob

I don't know for sure, I would certainly think so. Heck my own '99 Z28 ran 11.01 at 124.22 with 126,000 miles on the internally stock engine with the smaller ATI ProCharger 3.5" twin hi flow intercoolers. This was with the rev limiter kicking in at the 1000 ft mark, so it would of been in the 10's. My Z28 will be back out shortly with our front mount intercooler, and a rebuilt engine with forged internals. Bob
