The AA FMIC is a good upgrade for typical Stage 1 cars. Although no FMIC will really get the same temps as ambient through a pull, a good quality FMIC will usually stay in the 20 Degree range of ambient. Of course there are many exterior factors that can affect this so it's not exactly cut and dry or black and white as to what to expect. A larger quality FMIC won't necessarily have more pressure drop then stock, in fact some do an even better job. What we primarily see in this market is price sensitivity and lack of research and understanding of what the parts do and how they work. IE Customers sending us datalog information of their IAT's in traffic... Yea. Forums are great for information, some is good and some is bad. Some is right and some is way off. It can be hard to sift through, especially for newcomers. Take information with a grain of salt. Look for data, I know it's hard on this platform. Lastly, talk to a trusted vendor who understands the parts, your needs/wants and goals.
