Intercooler Fans I have came across a pair of these on some website i was looking at. Does anyone have fans mounted on there intercooled supercharger? What do you guys think? Does it help? Has anyone actually tried this out on a dyno to see if some fans will cool it down enough to give you more hp?
BOSS APPROVED!

I've seen a few guys on here that use them for "undermount?" intercoolers or by guys that don't want to cut up their front bumper...the part you actually see that is.
If you don't cut the bumper, there is only about an inch or two on each side of the plastic that says "CAMARO" or "SS" that allows air to hit the FMIC.
The fans would be a good way of drawing air through it so you could keep the stock bumper as is.

Used a single 12 inch fan on my old lt1 car. Inlet side was hot, outlet side was felt ambient. Running two 10in fans on this setup. It works well and very worth it in my opinion.

The customer has not raced the car since, its now getting 345s in the back along with fender flares. We installed a alky control methanol kit at the same time so its really hard to tell a difference.
