im looking to get a new intercooler and not sure what would be best.
i heard that the FMIC reduces throttle response, which is not what im looking for but better for performance. and also the SMIC works up to a certian extent and heat soaks pretty easily as well, in which defets the purpose.

i have a 3" perrin exaust and a cai. in the future im getting a new down pipe, unichip or some kind of ems (which ever is the best), and i wanna run around 10psi. and a few other little goddies. which would be better for my situation and which brand intercooler is the best?? thanks

I've heard that the SMIC is the best for 10psi on down and the FMIC is best for boost beyond that.

No need for two of the same thread. Also, try a lil' research, there's plenty of info out there on this.
