What would be better for a twin turbo ls1 road car.

The car will do some 1/4 mile and standing mile events each year, but is a daily driver.

Would i be better off with 2 charge coolers, one for each turbo or just one big front mount intercooler?

Thankyou

Large front mount intercooler.
Chargcooler ok, if you fill the water with ice and make a single drag pass. Street use - use an intercooler.

Big FMIC is the simplest and cheapest option. There is little need to complicate what should be an easy task.

A chargecooler does offer benefits in some ways, but with either it must have adequate size for both airflow and cooling capacity. Neither is better on its own if both are sized and built properly.
