Message	fmic vs smic in general. I say the fmic is better because there is more surface area than sm locations. fmics aid in cooling because of the increased surface area. a 24" x 6" area get around 5500cfm of ambient air while traveling down the road at 60mph. but then you hear the debate that since the fmic blocks the radiator, it will cause overheating. You dont hear supra guys complaining as much about this as Z guys, but it has become commonplace to bash fmics here because there are so many poor examples of fmics (apollo, uas,border,xsengineering) so on top of the small charge face, long tube length (ie pressure drop),and engine banks swapping, the radiator issue gets thrown in as icing on the cake .
