the track dog racing style. I dont want to pay 1000 dollars for that IC kit so thats out of the question. I want my IC pipes to go down like that so that its not between the fan and motor. What kind of intercooler can i buy where it has the piping on top so i can slide it in and make it work. I was thinking of going one with a 2.5 inch core. Do you guys think thats thick enough?

This looks like the design you're looking for... you can probably find one cheaper: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FMIC-...mZ290089102566
It's got 2.5" inlet/outlet, but silicone couplers can easily be slipped over a hole .25" bigger if you decided to go with 2.25" piping. DON'T forget that the throttle body inlet is 2.5".

You got 2.5" to fit under the hood without lowering the radiator???
Very curious....because I am planning a similar setup (using a 14 row starion intercooler with tig welded 2" in/out) and I would love to run 2.5'' as long as I don't have to modify radiator mounting.
I don't mind cutting the hood though....I figured that was a given
