Hey guys, just curious if anyone was brave enough to cut out the section of the bumper and bumper support between the fog lights is hopes to gain a less restricted air entry for intercooler/radiator. It pretty much increases the inlet 1/3. With some fiberglass work a nice bumper insert can be made to make it a real tidy job. I have 4th gen fans, decent air dam setup ect. , still heats up 220-230 in the summer, before the intercooler it wouldn't get above 180- 190. This is a single 76mm turbo 5.3. So every bit of cooling helps ward of kr and helps keep the power up. Thanks guys.

 

Thats what most do with camaros. Open up the front grille for flow at speed. Can fit a good cooler in there but turbo cars run hot by nature.

If you havent already, i would add an oil cooler. Def helps keep temps down. Maybe even a small fan behind intercooler to pass flow to rad

I wouldnt mount intercooler on top of rad.
