Procharger vertical intercooler mod
So I was looking at my C7 procharger set up and thought, why isn't there a scoop like on my GN for the intercooler, there is lots of room to put one, so I did.
I also made a mod to get more air in the radiator too!

However the vertical intercooler in its stock configuration, has killer low IAT's for drag racing. Its just when you try to do laps around a road course, you would want the Horizontal unit.
However, packing more air into that intercooler area, is NOT a good idea for high speed stability. In the testing we did, you do NOT want to scoop more air into that area. The scoop on the hood simply can not shed enough airflow, and a VERY bad lift condition starts at about 135mph.
CLIFF NOTES:
We do not support or recommend the modifications this customer has done.
