Slightly tangential to the topic, but relevant question I think: how big is too big and do you care if part of the IC does not get airflow? I have some thoughts, but no data... thoughts?

Oh yeah? Well, I'm getting a 20" THICK core! Beat that!!!
Just kidding. Anyway, I'd only so go so thick with the core because you're eventually going to cause more turbulence prior to the radiator core. In the end, I'm sure its negligable. I'd prefer to maximize the surface area of the front of the intercooler in relation to the flow of the air dam before going thicker. Most of these are seriously overkill for the power levels these cars are making (mine included).
And yeah, that's an old pic of the setup. The piping and BoV config are all different now. Its really the only one I have with the bumper off.
