It is not as easy as just whipping out the ol' Mastercard, my man.

I think it might be easier if you had electric fans, easier piping angles. I bought a KB and was looking at adding an I/C to it. With electric fans, I thought of getting a Veraram TB space and putting it on backward to the Manifold. Using epoxy on the two upper holes. Low mounting a 31x12x3 I/C and getting a piping kit with 90deg L pipes. It worked on paper with some minor tubing cutting but I will find out for sure about April.

I know i sound like a broken record, but i still think the 8.1L A2W intercooler will work with some minor modding. Mine is in my signature.

I think it would be more hassle and expense then its worth, going custom would be cheaper and easier. I considered that before I did my Air to Air on mine.
