Default intercooler install progressing!

hey guys, just thought id post a picture of my intercooler i finially got on my truck. ive been so busy the last 5 months, i havent had the time to tear into my truck like i wanted. Anyways, i removed the radiator and mounted the intercooler in its place. unforntuatly the intercooler was way to large to mound in front of the ac condenser so i have the intercooler sandwiched inbetween the ac condenser and the radiator. just hoping for some thoughts on the project and if you think the trouble im going through was worth it or not. lol.. probably not, but at least i got the first air to air intercooler i believe for a whipple!

**EDIT** I just attached the image as an attachment. XLR8NSS

Cool ... Is 3 inch going to be big enough though? I was thinking the stock tubing is all 4 inch.

3 inch is the size coming out of the whipple. and should work great. here are some various pics of my installation so far. it shows the intercooler and radiator together.
