Message	I am thinking of upgrading my intercoolers this summer (its winter now and its frecken cold) - just wondering what is better and why...I have two in mind now so I will post spec as below SMIC: Length: 280mm Height: 200mm Width: 90mm in/outlet: 2" 268CFM @ 20" with 1.2PSI Pressure Drop TOTAL = 536CFM @ 20" with 1.2PSI Pressure Drop FMIC Length: 515mm Height: 210mm Width: 70mm Pressure drop of 0.2psi @ 15 psi. Cost wise the FMIC is a tad more but doesn't bother me - I just want the best one. FMIC one also comes with dual intake (whether that is a + or -) Thanks
