Mike,
Corey and I are looking at back cutting my front bumper and reinforcing it in a different fashion. this will allow us to build a small hidden old school style air dam on the bottom of the bumper (actual bumper, not the front fascia) that will actually duct some air up to the intercooler. 2/3rds of my intercooler is behind the bumper skin... By making more clearance and using the louver style add on to duct air up to it, it will effectively increase the air flow over the intercooler,
We'll see if it helps.... Our concern is IATs for the mile run...
