Default Intercooler in front of Rad...Performance??? Experts Please.

Just wondered what effects there are by having a larger Intercooler mounted directly in front of the rad...

I have my IC on top of my rad, but am limited by the space, so wondered whether there would be any advantage of having a much larger IC mounted in front of the rad....

Any experience anyone???

Otherwise i only have Water Injection left to reduce Act's......

Apparently small rise in water temp is offset by reduction in charge temp
