Put the fans on the rad and CUT the bumper.........

Get your map checked out tho, as a large intercooler changes the map COMPLETELY

you dont want it running lean!!

Get your rad recored and fit an 82° Stat.

Also, as Stu said, you'll have to modify the bumper, although this can be done tastefully (like mine) if you're careful.
