I ASSume you're looking for an air-air front mount unit? If so I think the front mount Jack Cotton www.cottonsperformance.com sells would be your best bet considering Jack and some other guys have run in the low 9's to high 8's with it or call Precision Turbo www.precisionturbo.net and ask about the baddest FMs they sell for the Turbo Regals (I've been told they have a core and half as well as a 2 core FM that can support an 8 second car)....
Another option (if you could find one) is the CAS V1 or V3 FM that Tony DeQuick used to sell (he's not in business any longer as far as I know).....

Check out Jack Cottons 8 second GN-1 valve covers. This is all the proof you need that his FM will get the job done. I can vouch for the ease and precision fit this piece offers. I will update times after this weekend. The intercooler takes up all the room in front of the radiator possible.
Thanks again for all the responses.
I bought Cottons large front mount for my street car.
Its the one that totally fills up the whole area behind the grill.
It is big like my radiator and the install was a breeze.
I get compliments on it every where I go.
I was thinking about getting the double stacked Precision but I thought that it was a little bit too much fabrication (too much money)I'll call Jack tomorrow and see what he says.
Still taking ideas!

I have a perfect V1 for sale if you are interested, less then a thousand street miles. I only used it to low 10's but it is a mid 8 second capable piece and the fit is perfect.

I'm still not sure what intercooler to use,I'm not in that big of a hurry because my project is pretty big and I don't want to rush.
I'm shooting for BG 2005
I have one of DeQuick's old V3s. If you put it in the way he set it up, with the piping under the core support, you have to use a 4" rubber elbow and the piping's still too low to the ground for a car that might do wheel stands. The couple of cars I've seen with the bigger PT&E unit looked pretty low as well.
If Jack and Cal can go 8s at 154-159 with the smaller FMs, they are working OK and they are MUCH easier to fit. I would run one and not look back.
In my case, I flipped the thing over, which meant a lot of fab work as I had to lose the core support, do new inlet/outlets, yada yada. I am happy with how it came out but probably wouldn't want to go through that again.
Kendall's website has a few good pics of the V3 and a good little description of it....
"It's basically two of his normal V1 cores sandwiched together with custom end tanks (two 3" inlets, one 4" outlet)."

FWIW, I saw the V3 that Cal has on his car (he showed it to us before he put it on his car at the one event) and I must say that pics don't do that IC any justice!!! It's a very thick piece
