So back to my wild idea here. Would those who are tracking this thread like to see the following as much as I would?

Some service shop / sponsor to take a bone stock car and then try the top 5 FMIC's that are sold / recommended on 1 addicts and 3 ers forum. Test not on a dyno but a track course with a 3 lap min run. Reason i say no dyno is last time I was in 3rd gear at 7000 rpm I was moving forward and not looking at the picture of the super model on the wall next to me. Just saying.

A 6 day test on a bone stock car with the top 5 FMIC's to compare lap times. Day one is with stock FMIC. *note test done at the same time of day to approximate same conditions* If they times are all the same then it shows it is just a taste based on a (kind of) real world scenario.

Again just 2 more cents for thought. I think I am up to 4 cents now DOH!
4 cents well written, and I support the independent test model 100%. We would send an intercooler for testing. Again, sorry if we came across as a little hysterical: it's a hotbutton issue for us after all of the work we've put into these coolers.
