Just an idea... Maybe lame? But I'm always thinking no matter the platform..
I don't know near enough as rest of you on Supercharged cooling, but would the ZR1 Vette Top Mounted cooler be a design worth looking into? Possibly even retrofitting as it sits ontop of the larger TVS blower w/very tight underhood tollerences..

To me the Jag XKR are a decent place to start looking for a possible donor setup for top mounts. This looks like the next best alternative well done!

Sorry for the wait guys, The orginal plan was to test the IC on my car. But I decided to test it on another car that would benefit more from a upgraded IC. When my guy doing the test get some results I will share it. At this point we are looking at the end of the week.

Well I was the guy that was going to do the testing and from the looks of it got ripped off. I traded some new parts plus cash for this and the night before Jerry came to dyno Ahmad and I TRIED to install this but it was far from even close to fitting. Now after being told I would be refunded monday its not looking good. Hopefully I was the only one to get screwed over. NEVER pay anyone without using PayPal or send parts for something you don't even know will work or not.

The intercooler is too wide and too deep and will not fit into the valley of the engine. Now the guy is giving me the run around for not refunding me blah blah blah. Wouldn't take PayPal payment and I was dumb enough to send money order after I had a bad feeling about it. I've contacted his local police and was told I had to give another week for refund until I can go further.

I was initially going to take the unit back and give u a refund but you have proven to me you are less than honorable. There is so much more to this story, that im not in the mood to discuss right now...tomorrrow is another day.
