Default Question

Hey guy's, For my Z, im waiting on my intercooler, and cold air intake, oil cooler and other stuff.

My Main question here is for the one's that have done it.

I understand if you have the Longtube Cold Air Intake, It get's in the way of the intercooler.

What have you guy's done other then putting a short ram, witch is not what i want to do. to prevent this..

Picture's would be great, My Z is still in storage in the garage for the winter, and spring is around the corner,

Im not sure if this as been answered yet but help me out.

Thank's

What possible benefit would you get from an intercooler and a CAI combined?

Intercoolers cannot cool below ambient temperature, CAI already pulls ambient...?

All good, I thought you were trying to run an intercooler for some "performance" gains with a CAI.

^English, can you type in it please?

What fi kit are you buying?
Cai now is a waste of money. Use that money to fab intake(s) for your fi kit.

so are you getting stillen/vortech or GTM?
Cause either one will not work with what you are "dreaming" up.

GTM already has filters placed, vortech only has one.

You won't run those intakes if you go FI. Also, supercharging is generally much cheaper. Lastly, please don't touch your engine.

Just run an intercooler and have a pipe going from the Intercooler to the throttle bodies. If you're gonna do it, at least do it right
