I was wondering if getting a 3sgte with a stock top mount intercooler would be actually efficient when used in conjunction a ST-205 hood...I know the bulge is over the headers and I'm not sure about the airflow...

yea I think it won't work frown.gif

Air goes out of the ST205 hood scoop, and the ST185 TMIC needs air to go in. Another important part of the ST185 intercooler is the seal it has with the hoodscoop.

You should run the TMIC only long enough to prove that you have the motor running right (like, warm it up in the garage and that's it!).
