Intercoolers
So I've been lurking E-Bay for about a year looking for a long thin intercooler. I need one that about 10"x30" with 3" inlets. I've found some near that size, but they're always 2 1/2" inlets.
So here's my question, it looks like these things taper down into the 2 1/2 inlets, and the casing itself is 3" thick. So would it be easy to cut one of these and weld on some 3" tubes?

Are you set on those dimensions, even custom made will be a hefty price for such a core. I think your car is a good candidate for a V-mount set up, if you can guide the air to it.

What's a v-mount setup?
Nothing custom, too much money. This will be a home made E-Bay intercooler setup. The hot air doesn't care how much money I spend. I spend the bucks on stuff that matters, like name brand heads and pistons. When it comes to things like intercoolers and headers I'm a cheap ass.

Dude call procharger and ask them for the dimensions for their sn 95 3 core intercooler. Mine was about hte same dimensions you are looking for and had 3" flanges. Also it would be really easy to have the 2.5" flanges cut and replaced with 3" flanges. Good luck and get your little ass to a dyno. I'm tried of listening to the 700rwhp bullshit.
Ben, start a pool I got ten dollars on 540 rwhp.

I'll say after he gets the intercooler he'll be around 650rwhp, maybe more.

Who the hell ever said 700 REAR WHEEL HP?! It was 711 at the flywheel, and I agreed that it was prob less.

Check out the images of the cars and there V-mount cooler set up a few pages into it. Your Vette I think could work with a set up like this in the front nose area but I'm not sure what it looks like already under the hood.
Are you sure those dimensions are right. You want only a 10" in length cooler and 30" tall? Sounds backwards to me, 30x10x3 is what your looking for I think iono???
