will the smaller of the FMICs be efficient for 1000rwhp? Reason i ask is because i will road course the car a couple to few times a year and dont want to completely block the radiator. Or will blocking the radiator even be an issue. Mainly a street car and am concerned with the overall efficiency of the air entering the intake.

The road course will be track days, nothing competitive. Just want to have some "legal" fun

We have a couple intercooler options in the works. For a road race car that is going to be beat on continuously, keeping the engine cool needs to take some priority over making a billion HP. So a smaller intercooler that cools the charge air pretty good but also allows good airflow to the radiator is needed. We will have that shortly and it will support 1000+whp.
If you don't already have a meth injection kit, that would be a big step in the right direction too.

Thanks, currently running single nozzle ALKY for cooling alone. Tuned with the meth off. Now the weather has cooled a bit, i have the pump turned off so im not running too rich.

Hate to ask but do you have a rough estimate on the release of this new version FMIC

Got pics? I have a speed shop up here quoting me for that very kit for a full install.

Sneak peak. I was there after a test drive of the new shop toy that arrived so took a picture.

That's exactly what SNL is doing to my V with the win 6766s. Let them custom fab and you'll be good to go man. Not like it's rocket science and it's something that has to be "proven."
I agree. This kit looks like a great option, but big power needs more detail work.
Efficiency should be a top priority. Systems designed around factory components and easy fitment rarely exhibit top efficiency. Quality materials, and design built for you and your goals.
You should not be looking at factory set-ups as your benchmark. You should be looking at Motorsports as your benchmark. High quality intercooler and radiator cores should be the base for a custom build. Custom manifolds, optimum turbo placement, quality heat shielding and coatings,etc.
V-band everything on the turbos, stainless housings, intelligent wastegate placement, versatile boost management with the features you need and want.

Thanks for this info, yea, im definitely going with a custom setup from SNLPerformance. They have been pumping these TT setups out on custom motors. Just not on a 5th gen yet.

They just did a GTO with twin PTE6266s and he just ran a sub 6 second 1/8th. They have also done a couple monster CTS-V and they are building "Sprayed-V"s CTS-v withh LSX 434. They are gonna get 1300 or so out of it with the PTE6766s.

The intercooler issue has been keeping me up at night lately. dont want to block my radiator since i plan to road course the car. Im liking the Procharger 1300hp race unit that is 27"x12" x 4.5" deep. Like it because it is the same height as my dinky standard IC im running now with my D1SC.

I am also curious about the new offering that AGP has coming out concerning FMIC. Just dont have any details yet on specs or when it will be available.

No,you need to reinstall the stock manifolds or get shorty headers.

You can sell them and get a $1000 towards the kit.
