Agreed, I'm one of the those that heavily criticizes hack jobs, as I posted.

Hmmm... I'm interested in the same thing, as I posted.

Hmmm...

Not my post...

And unlike you, I'm contibuting an idea to solve the problem this thread presents for Firebirds + FMIC... What's your idea? Don't like mine, don't do it... I'll discuss things as I see fit just like your own right to do the same can be exercised... Here, I'll have one too.

Jeez, this is getting pretty heated. Bboyferal is only trying to offer his advice. Swearing to a point where emotion trumps logic is counter productive. Contrarily, it can be shamelessly entertaining. Bboyferal, let me know if I can lend some "colorful" assistance.

A friend.

i was only going to run 8-10 psi do you think the twin intercooler would be efficient enough at that low boost

At that psi I don't believe it's a problem... Might want to ask an ATI owner that made the switch, though, and ask for what boost levels the they made they made that switch.

8 psi? ****, there are some here (STS guys) that run NO intercooler with that (Thought they do run meth)... But that's something I'd never do.

EDIT: This was a recent thread about someone that went for a FMIC with a Procharger... He didn't mention his goals, though, but this happens often:

You should pity LT1 owners, for us its like being in special olympics when juxtaposed to the LS engine line up. Did you miss the "clue" of the last post? What I refer to being colorful, you refer to as a "dialectical discourse conception."

We could have some fun doing a ridiculous intellectual team up.

Greetings back. Yes, it is indeed great to operate a level six.
