Firebird Intercooler
Ok, so ive found a couple different setups, and I was just looking for some feedback as to what is best. I searched on here for a while with not much luck, just camaros. I have seen TTA850s setup, this thread https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/powe...tercooler.html, and this thread http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/conver...r-project.html. I havent found any good pictures of a stock 89 setup. I remember when BBS designs was on here, somebody used an intercooler from a diesel truck in place of the condenser. Im hoping theres some people lurking in the shadows who havent posted pics or have done lots of research on the subject. So pics, tips, tricks, sizes, anything to help me over this speed bump.

Re: Firebird Intercooler
Heres mine its 31x12x3. I had to do a lot of trimming with the front impact bar. I switched it to the correct 91-92 air dam last year with a Taurus fan and it cools fine now. I may add a custom air dam if it decides to run hot this year, but it shouldnt now that I have an appropriate sized exhaust.
