That isn't my car with the twin throttle bodies, but they look like 4500 Dominators, probably Accufab.

An option for the OP is to simply add an "interfooler" that isn't actually connected to the engine... from urban dictionary:
(Noun.) An interfooler is a device commonly fitted behind the front bumper or grille of a vehicle to closely resemble an actual front-mount air to air intercooler found on most modified turbocharged and some supercharged vehicles. It causes enthusiasts to think that a car is turbocharged, but it really is not. (a.k.a. Baller on a budget.)
Is that an intercooler? No...it's a "front mount air intake system". Interfooler!
