Default What and Where to put the intercooler

I have read a lot of everyone's past post and they have been very help full but it seems that most of you use water to air intercoolers, i like bruces set up with the cool water tank behind the passenger seat that is really nice but any way why doesn't anyone use air to air intercoolers. the only reason i can think of is there's no where to put it but if someone knows of a place to put one let me know and other place to put my intercooler

The procharger intercooler is supposed to be good to about 500 hp. It rests above the radiator shroud and fits quite well.

looks Great Joby,

I was running an ATI intercooler, with the temps out here where I live the ambient gets close too 110 degrees in the summer.

I switched to water methanol injection, mainly for space considerations.

I know of some folks that are using both, I think the real consideration is the intended purpose for running the car be it autocross or street or strip or combination...

Your location looks fine...
