I wanna see some pics when you are done. I've got an 87 Shelby Z myself and I was always afraid the car would overheat with a FMIC even though it would work/look so good. I remember when my brother had this car (bought it from him) he mounted fog lights in those 2 holes in the front bumper and since it blocked the radiator some it would overheat.

you've got a lot of problems then, I even shaved off three of the 6 fins in the water pump and I don't overheat

sorny, did you see the pics in the link? I have 2 hella 300's in the nose holes as well and 3 fins cut off the waterpump, ported waterpump housing, and a T2 radiator. Even when it's 105 here in the summer I have zero issues with overheating! It's all in the smaller details with airflow, plus a good t-stat and clean radiator.

I have that ebay one that tryinbe posted and here is my install in a lebaron- should be close to the same on a daytona. I understand it is good to 400hp-after that you should be looking at a spearco.

LeBaron Intercooler install done!
