Are you looking to convert the 85 to an intercooled set-up?I was looking around for a aluminum shroud for my stock intercooler when I came across TR custom parts website..I see they have both the stock location intercoolers and the front mount.. Which do you guys feel is the better install?
No the 85 is gone..I have a 87..I havent yet figured out how to change my information.Are you looking to convert the 85 to an intercooled set-up?

To clarify my earlier comment............Nah Im not into racing it..Im happy with the way it is now..If I can get a little more speed thats cool but not necessary.... Both kits are the same price but the front mount looks cooler but, If it will make the car run like crap I will skip it and just go with the aluminum shroud for my stock intercooler
The front mount will lead to more mods to keep the water temps down generally like others have stated but you don't have to worry about ground clearance.the stock location is plug and play you just have to pay attention to ground clearance.if the car is stock and with a stock tune I would put a modified dutt neck or what Jm posted and be done.raising the boost and alky injection is the biggest bang for the buck from a performance standpoint on the stocker.Nah Im not into racing it..Im happy with the way it is now..If I can get a little more speed thats cool but not necessary....

If you decide to buy any aftermarket intercooler,you need to understand that the Precision stock location intercooler outflows most of the front mounts. This means less restriction which keeps the turbine workload to a minimum. This is a very big deal that most front mount marketers don't even consider when they design an intercooler. If you buy most of the front mount intercoolers,you will end up with too much restriction as the power goes up. If you buy a front mount that has minimal restriction,you will severely diminish the effectiveness of the cooling system. The best front mount will have many vertical cooling tubes. The vast majority of intercoolers marketed for our cars have few horizontal tubes which leads to more restriction which puts more strain on the turbine which creates more heat to attain any give desired boost number.I was looking around for a aluminum shroud for my stock intercooler when I came across TR custom parts website..I see they have both the stock location intercoolers and the front mount..

Generally speaking,the Precision stock location is the best intercooler out there. They used to market a front mount. I wonder why they quit selling it.
Yes. I'll correct it. Thanks.Did you mean “Precision stock location replacement” during the entire first paragraph?
What is a E85 conversion kit?Leave the stocker on there ... you don't need a front mount or a upgraded SLIC .. the stocker has no problem supporting lower 11's all day
If you want to hit the EASY button .. put a E85 conversion kit on it ... Simplest most cost effective mod there is for these cars .. complete game changer and lets the car be all it can be.
you can add as much or as little power as you want .. from stock 13 psi to 25 psi + .. at the higher boost the trans is on borrowed time.

When you run E85,you need more fuel pump volume and bigger injectors.What is a E85 conversion kit?
This is as high on my list of things I like about E85 as anything and I just pull into a gas station just like anyone else. If you can have peace of mind and get everything out of your engine all the time,that's a big deal.but also peace of mind.
