Message	:should be better b/c of lessened pressure drop across the IC. If someone is willing to give me a FMIC to test, I'll post the results... :) I HAVE compiled data on stock vs Stillen vs HKS on my Z though...search will reveal them... :SS the biggest negative is the loss of a balance air flow intake system. i don't care if you gain 10% cooling (MAX imho) with a front mount IC, you risk damage if one turbo is providing more PSI then the other. Hense, the need for a balanced intake system. And no, I seriosly doubt the stock balance tube is enough as the intake was designed as a BIG version of a balance tube. but FMICs "look great" PETZ (member #003)
