FYI--For those of you thinking about an ATI Procharger with intercooler

Recently installed an ATI P1-SC procharger with a 2 core intercooler. The intercooler scoop is only about 3 inches off
the ground and as you can imagine, scrapes a lot. Especially if you have a passenger. I would highly recommend going with the twin hi-flow intercooler set up as I have heard that you have much more clearance with this system. Spend a few more bucks because driving on the street with the two core is a pain. I do like the extra hp from the procharger, however!

You can always re-locate the 2 core to the nose of the car.

I relocated my 3 core

Unlike the camaros, the TransAms don't have a grille opening in the front.

That doesn't mean you can't put it there. The fog light openings in the TA nose are huge. Plus the TA nose is a little more round, giving you more room available. Check out http://www.thefbodyshop.com/n20dave/ I originally built that relo for my '95TA and then it was installed on Dave's '94 Formula.

Later,


Steve.

The foglight holes aren't that big. But I can see what your saying, it would probably work, but the twin ICs would be better

I have the car RBE17 did. I made the fog light holes much bigger and it still looks like it could be stock. I'm thinking of cutting them out further this year.

My buddy at Procharger, Dorian, is the guy that put that whole twin intercooler setup together. It was tested on a Camaro from either here or Nebraska, can't remember. He has done quite a few since then, and we are going to make a killer setup for my 85 Trans Am once the LT1 stroker gets going. If you guys want, call and ask for Dorian and just tell him you were curious about the twin intercooler setup, you saw someone posted it on here.

Great Pics... Marc's page went into good detail. The link to the fbody shop didn't work.
