Custom intercooler
http://www.treadstoneperformance.com...te+intercooler
I am looking to do one of these this summer to eliminate the LT1 procharger intercooler restriction.
Go over to the A&A Corvette site, they do a ram air setup on C5's with the intercooler about 6inches in front of the air dam with its own dam/scoop.
Supposedly the radiator still gets fresh air and so does the intercooler because it has its own scoop.
I need to work all of this out, but it would require cutting the bottom of the noise piece and maybe cutting the honey comb crash protection, but I think it should be doable.
I also need to work out any potential ground clearance issue as the intercooler will hang down a little and sit forward so steep inclines/drive entrances may have an issue.
I think the common belief is that if you have the intercooler right in front of the radiator without separate air paths, that you will run hotter. Another concern with that is heat soak in stop and go, so I think if the A&A approach coul dbe made to work it would be ideal.
What I need to figure out is how to get the tubing onto the left/passenger side. On the C4's, there are the blackish aluminum skid rails under the nose that you would have to get the tubing over or they would need to be notched. Hopefully the outlet angle can go up through the shroud similar to a lot of typical C5 designs.
Who makes a custom 1000+ intercooler ?

If it doesn't sell on it's own, then I'll probably sell it when I sell my ysi kit. I may be selling that in the not so distant future.
