Message	I gotta say, I like everything about the fmic including larger cooling surface area, looks and theory but damn!@ I do NOT like how it blocks the radiator and restricts engine temps and engine cooling. Cant we just put two fmics on as side mounts? LOL :p Talk about larger cooling surface.... ****472 RWHP/461 TORQUE ON 110 RACE GAS @21 PSI ****438 RWHP ON 93 OCTANE PUMP GAS/STOCK MOTOR**** ****429 FT LBS/TQ******************************* Also own: 2001 Harley Davidson Custom Softail Deuce 1997 Ford Explorer XLT V8 AWD 1993 300ZX 2+2 NA 1991 Yamaha YZ250 1985 Ford Bronco 3" lift, 35" Tires Sold: 1987 Nissan 300zx na(Z31) 1979 280ZX 2+2 1972 MGB 1968 Pontiac Firebird
