I mounted mice here. You can go as big as you want in this spot. These pics are before I installed an air dam, In the process of building my scoop. Will get pics of it up as soon as im done.

You calculate internal flow area this way. (internal flow area = Channel length x channel width x number of channels.) Most intercoolers have only a 45% availibilty of flow through the cores. What are your hp goals and what turbo?
no more than 600 awhp. i'll be starting off with a forged 383 stroker ls1 317 heads and a gt67 turbo. @ 7psi

If you need 75 lbs per minute to get to your hp goal you would need 50 sq in of internal core flow. An 18x24 core would flow 54 sq in. With a 4" thick core you would have 13.5" of frontal flow area. A 3" thick core has 18" of frontal flow area. The 3" thick would dissipate heat faster due to the air being able to travel through the core easier.

No-one said it doesnt work, but have you wondered how it would respond with a smaller core? If it boosted better and still cooled as well, seems like that would be more desirable.
