Pressure drop isnt the only variable, theres also, flow density, if the flow is laminar or turbulent, etc...
We have flow benched(Superflow bench) a bunch of FMIC's and found our custom made FMIC(internal fins for added cooling) we were running for Redline Time Attack was the most restrictive in terms of pressure drop even more so than the oem FMIC, but on the other hand it also provided the best cooling(more efficient) and made the most HP and TQ on the dyno. Lower pressure drop isn't always better.
