Was just admiring a SCC Members setup and got to thinking.

Why cant we put the intercooler in the same location there is more than enoff room up front in the v6!

Example.

I understand in the front it would get cooler air. But if it can work for a 1500+ Hp should be able to work for our little LLT's no?

Even a SC setup like the IPF and this type intercooler would look nice. and think of all loss of all the extra tubing to put it out front!

I dont know just thinking lol

This is a water to air intercooler. So it can go there just fine. Plus less plumbing is required to get instant air to the IM. Think of it as ram air effect as it shoots the cool air straight in.
