Is anyone running there FMIC into there stock intercooler before running it intoi tyhe manifold. I'm not sure how restrictive the stock one is but it would be a great way to reduce heat soakage. (thats a word,.....Right?)

Would it not get heat soaked though, granted its 104 degrees here and about 80-90 year round

i have been in 104 deg weather and my fmic was doing just fine. the stock ic is not that good at flowing much air and it would problaby do more harm then good. im speeking from a bt point of view. now on a ko3 that would be just too much intercooler to have both a fmic and a smic
