nice, finally some new upgrades for you!

i'm sure your iat's will love you and you will probably gain some power from decreased pressure drop across the larger core.

Looks good. Like how you mounted the tranny cooler on the crash bar, and added holes underneath to let air into the intercooler.

Nice job and it is brilliant on how you notched out the back side of the crash bar around the intercooler.

I've not driven the car yet... I've done all the Tuning on the Car my self, and I doubt it will need retuning. Will take it for a test drive soon and to the Strip when it gets cooler. the DragStrip is My Dyno, Best 11.85 ET @ Best 118.67 MPH before Intercooler upgrade.
