yeah i wasnt a member of this sight when i went with the fmic or i would have known to go with smic . there is so much blockage in the front now with the fmic , tranny cooler , a/c condenser , electric fan . it was ok under normal driving cond. but didnt like to be driven hard . i need an after market temp guage to see exactly where im at but for now it stay right in the middle where it always did when it was stock.
