Quick question guys

Is there an alternative to a FMIC? It looks great and all on a Camaro, but IMO I think it looks silly on a TA, I would not want to cut my bumper up...Would the FMIC work efficient without hacking up the bumper?

You could do a Liquid to air setup. But you don't have to hack up the TA bumper up just remove the front cover.

you mean front cover as in license plate holder....we need front plates in Jersey....Not that I care much about that, I would rather the ultimate sleeper...basically you can't see anything, fog lights, front plate and all.....but then I would believe the IC would not be nearly as efficient

I guess thats what always made me interested in an ATI setup or some type of roots blower than has a "built in" IC

So how much would an FMIC suck if I were to keep fog lights and the front plate?

Forgot about the A2W setup, I think I remember Phamspeed talking about that in a post a while back, hopefully they come up with some kind of stealth location (not where the battery is)

2 things...HellRaiser, do you have a lift or access to one? Second, If you could find someway to shroud the IC, I don't think you'd have to much of a problem. In otherwords, put a chin strap on it and find a way to force enough air to it.

Edit: Aren't a few people running a Griffin core w/o cutting the front plate area open? I thought they said they were getting good results with that route.

No lift for me. Just some Jack stands and crawling around on the dirty ground. Yeah there is guys makeing plenty of power with the FMIC on a TA.
