I thought way back when with the old setup but same intercooler Nelson said he got 1000 hp ?

ive been looking at the pics in the featured ride.. and it looked like you could increase the thickness of that IC by atleast a couple of inches, and the height by 6-8 inches... it might require some trimming of the front fender and rhe bracket that holds the hood latch, but it looks like there is room to fit a much better flowing unit, without changing any of the tubing

It may look like it in the pics, but it would require re-locating or eliminating the latch, and no room to go forward at all, unless you lose the grille supports completely.

I've dropped the no intercooler idea, I'll just drive it with low boost for now. As it sits the latch is right on top of the intercooler without a tank. Plus adding the lower tank would hang below the front bumper, it's exactly at the bottom of the bumper now. Probably go twin vertical intercoolers.

I had to go with twin vertical intercoolers to clear the hood latch. Worked out great with my set-up. Here are some pics if your interested.

thanks. I am leaning that way myself, but that would require a ton of changes and fabbing to get the lines from the intercoolers back to the throttle body. Ideally I'll need to keep a big single, but go with vertical flow and somehow miss the latch. If I can miss the latch I think I can keep the inlet/outlet in the same place which keeps all my plumbing intact.

you could also just go with a marginally thicker and taller crossflow and change out the latch to somthing akin to a trunk latch from a modern car and keep it in the center (remember to do a safety catch) it would require reengineering the bracing infront.. but it could be done nicely. with some stainless rod.ball ends and tubing...

or you could have two latches on either side of the ICand delete the center latch bracing all together... these could work
