Default What size intercooler

What size intercooler will fit in the front of my T/A? On E-Bay I have found:
28"x7"x2.5"
31"x12"x4"
31"11.5x3"
Which one would be the easiest to install and give the best results.

not sure the differance between a t/a and camaro, but i have the 31x12x4 and it fits with no problem. you might have to lose fog lights with one of the bigger ones.

yes with a smaller intercooler you are not getting the full effect of the system. It helps to have something but you will still get heatsoak from it. No telling how long it will take or how many passes for it to happen. With a larger intercooler hmmm that one I really don't know maybe you would have to worry about pressure drop. All I can say is try to get a properly sized IC for your set-up. More info on your set-up would help also so someone can get you pointed in the right direction
