Why not a air-to-water intercooler.

Im not sure Fmic are subject to how much air you can get flowing thrugh them. sitting in traffic makes for some hot air. where as the water cooler uses ice water and a pump to cool the air

bad idea. u r running hot ait through the intercooler therefore heating the water thus u will not be intercooling the air anymore. this is for drag only cars not street driving. this is why a fmic is idea for street use.

well what if i have "drag car" horsepower? why do the S/C mustangs run with them. Why does the GMC syclone come with one and the Grand National. those are t=somne of the fastest cars/trucks ever built and they used water coolers. the reason fmic are used is b/c of the "fast and the furious" trend

A air to water intercooler setup is FAR more complex than a simple FMIC.

this guy did it

you guys are way off. they have them bc they r stock and they are using coolant not seperate water tanks. sicne when did a grand national come stock liquid to air? no its not the fast and the furious trend either. fmic were here way berfore that. the mustang u r talkin about uses a completely diff kind of liquid to air setup than a turbo one bc they are monted under the roots blower. if u wanna waste your money by all means dont make me hold u back but alls i have to say is do some more research like call turbonetics and let them tell ya how practical it is for a street drivin car for daily use since u think i have no clue
