Message	There could be many things causing a car to overheat. I'm not saying your wrong at all but just curious how you know its the FMIC causing the overheating problem? And my belief is if you need larger intercooler(s), you should think also about a $300-350 radiator upgrade. The z32 cooling system is meant to cool a 300HP engine (~250rwhp), not a 400rwhp motor. __________________________________________________
