Do they make a 28x12x3 IC that doesn't have that terrible endtank design? The way the common endtank design looks makes me think it'd be horrible for efficiency... are there any ebay ones that have the entrance/exit more in the center of the core instead of the very bottom?

Well i don't think the stock ic looks very efficient to me, but people have been known to make 400+hp through them. There are ic's with the style you're looking for, but I doubt you will find one with those dimensions. There's always 'custom made' if you want to go that rout. Besides, wouldn't that limit your mounting options? Just a thought, but in theory, you would want the ic as centered as possible and that might create clearance issues with the pipes hitting the frame rails. I've been using an ic with 24x12x4 core and terrible end tanks and I haven't had any problems.

the problem with a center exit is the frame rails they are right in the way as well as the head lights so the end tanks that come fit our cars perfectly

Look into the precision 600hp ic.. its smaller (31 1/2" L x 8" H x 3 1/2" D) and has a more centralized end tank.. Should flow Just about all you'll need.. Its a bit more pricey then the ebay intercoolers (I think ~ 400).

But the Main problem is the Frame rails as stated.. Theres just no room really..
