I have been all over the place about an intercooler but ended up going with this monster from goertz. The core is 24x12x4.5".

Looks like you get a even bigger core. Bell is out of the 12 tall so your getting upgrade to 14 tall. The top end tank will be a mirror of the bottom so overall size stays the same

It is alive! There are still some loose ends but we got to drive it last night. No issues on the test drive.
Open waste gates are too loud. That oil pump needs isolated. With the cut out open it is louder at idle but not really any louder at wot(until the wg opens).

The intercooler all welded up (minus the horn mount boss and the oil cooler tabs I need to mark tomorrow on my car)
Thing is a beast! I really am pretty certain this thing is much stronger than the factory bumper support |

dumb dumb self left the top outlet about 3/4" long. I'm going to fix that on Sat and re-update my fixture for a better fitment. Also adding in a mounting provision for the bottom factory diff oil cooler. Lastly will have a spot for the horn to mount to as well. If you can't tell there is next to zero room for anything else hahah
This is what 336 sq in of cooling surface looks like. This core is efficient for a solid 1200whp. Should have it shipped by Wed for you Honestly this thing is a beast, I can pretty much say you are safer with my intercooler than the factory aluminum extruded bumper support lol fun fact the end tanks are 3/16" 5052 aluminum. The weld down the length of the core takes nearly 10x 3/32nd filler rods alone! I probably used a full lb just in filler rod materials or really close to it. I think it tips the scales around 40lbs or so... I'll get a final weight on it after it is 100% on Sat |

I have been on vacation all this week but when I get back it will be time for lt4 high pressure fuel pump, lt4 injectors, 3 bar map, wg mufflers, isolate the oil pump, wire the oil pump with a time delay off relay and once it shows install that monster intercooler.
Then tune, turn up the boost to the limit of the fuel system and hit the dyno. So much fun stuff to do! After this is done I will be helping a buddy of mine install an agp kit on his car and we should have some nice comparisons to share.
