wouldn't blocking all that airflow, and
turbulence created around the open
ends of the IC, negate any advantage of
"intimidation"? Forgive the psych and
just plain logic coming out, but wouldn't
the racer automatically assume he's not
racing a Z32 NA? Realizing that the Z32
is a TT next to him, wouldn't he
automatically understand that the turbos
are side intercooled? So if were arguing
that that FMIC is purely psychological
effect, would the racer be encouraged to
try that much HARDER? If were talking
pure psychout here, if I saw what looked
to be a stock Civic next to me, I would
be less inclined to watch my gearing,
and then find out later that the Civic had
a jet engine inside of it. The mentality
of every racer, just purely their
attendance, would mean that they are
prepared to win and do what it takes to
win, therefore any showiness would be
used as fuel for that goal.Intimidation would be way more useful
on the street, being that street racing,
especially high speed highways, are for
the most part spontaneous, therefore no
mental preparation required, so a huge
FMIC would "scare" the other street
racer especially if the FMICd owner
instigated the race.
