Okay, this has probably been beaten to death on other forums, but I didn't see a topic about it here...

I have a 1st gen with stock SMICs right now. I am currently running 380AWHP. I do not plan on going above 450AWHP, since this is more of a fast street car rather than a track car.

I have heard about issues with FMICs and making cars run hot as well as possibly having to remove the crash bar. Is this true for all FMICs, or just certain ones? Removing the crash bar is something I do not want to do.

How do SMICs compare to FMICs in cooling ability?

What are some good FMICs and SMICs?

Thanks for the help guys!
