Besides Intense........just wondering how the install went. I know most kits are set up to go on a GP. So I assume radiator, pump location will be different.

Good Luck

To my knowledge only 2 Bonnevilles have been intercooled. Both are 2000'*, one is BadSSEi the other is mine. BadSSEi was a custom intercooler install from the get go and has been running for a few years. Mine used our Intercooler Kit with the only modification being the cooler and its placement. I've been meaning to put pictures up of the install for a while now, just have not gotten the time to do it.

Seeing some pictures would be great. I have a chance to pick up one used and wanted to see if I could m ake it work with hood clearance and all.

I've got the SS IC from ZZP..... but it'* not installed yet.
It'* 1/2 the height of the normal IC...... (but less then 1/2 the price).

Naah, if the mod bug had him by the jugular he woulda got the full IC. Not the half one. With the full one I could run a 3.0 pulley with no supprting mods. With the half I would go 3.25 at the lowest. In Merlins situation, rockers and all it'll be good. However, just think Merlin, with a full IC you can run a 2.8".
