Default Want A Bigger Radix Intercooler

I have a standard issue 7 x 24 cooler and would like to go larger for the GA hot summers.
Whats out there or has been done for the likes of an 05 Silverado?

I'm googling. what about this?

Is it too much to put in front of the radiator affecting the AC or enging cooling.

In this LIST
there are some near the OE same size but thicker.

Which would be the best?

Don't most radix guys use the CTS-V heat exchanger offered by magnacharger?....

Look in this FS posting for an example:

i think the cts V exchanger is only 14x24. you could get another stock size or a little bigger exchanger and run them in series.

Thanks Coban,

I wonder how the dual setup goes in?
Did he use them both at the same time?
The larger one looks like enough improvement alone.
So there is hope. I hope to see some install pics.
I guess I'll be calling Maggie to hear them out too.

You can get an radiator and just mount it under the truck with some fans. You can go as wide as the frame rails.
