As long as the cam is user friendly with taht setup I will probably go with something like it or identical. As for the headers, I have SLP longtubes, wouldn't aftermarket headers be better thatn ported sotckers. Is it jsut for the spool you wnat to put them on? Wouldn't you see better numbers with L/T's? How would my SLP's work?
longtubes *could* be better if they were ceramic coated and even then they wouldnt hold in heat better than stockers that were ported and coated. you're SLP's will work for now, but if you want earlier spool then the stockers would be better

So the mustang intercooler only eliminates the removal of the fog lights and not the bird, hence no matter what intercooler you use to see max benifits you have to take the bird out?

Ya I hear ya, I saw that car you are talking about but I can't remember where. It looked pretty good too. Guess I will have to go that route. What about piping a sidemount like ATI does? It prolly wouldn't be worth the hastle, i just like turbo's, and this kit is quite a bit cheaper. I could cam it with the sts kit and still have extra cash. This kit has the potential too if you want to build a motor later. I want a reliable DD with stock internals and the turbo's get better mileage, more fun to drive, and cruisin has no boost. My boosted eclipse is always under vaccum, well not always, lol!!!!!

Keep in mind that the space between the foglights is 19-20" MAX. And with the bumper installed, those big foglight openings take up about an inch or two of that space.
My IC is 18x12.5x3.5 and has 2.5" outlets and flows vertically. I would have preferred 3" but 2.5 fits nicely above and below the foglights without having to trim the recessed fog housing on the bumper.
check out the picture below to get an idea. That box is about 18x12x4
