[s-cars] An interesting FMIC "fact" (?)

[Cody Payne]

Oh I wouldn't say that it is the cheapest HP...but heck once you are
fully RS2'ed or beyond..it is the next step IMHO.  This assumes that you
have done all the other goodies like suspension, brakes, etc.

  IF you want 400+ HP I don't think you are going to be able to do it
w/o some larger/better flowing IC.

Ok Cody:
Let's B4B (tm - qshipq) that.
Step 1 below
5000USD = 50USD/hp
35% gain in HP

Step 2 below (installed) = 90-100USD/HP
8% gain in HP

At 8% gains, I'd be looking at alternative "theories" to spending
100USD/HP.  
That's a lot of GP money for custom cams, better IM, TB, turbo dyno.

Without the 4 probes, who really knows?

I'm not at all claiming that better IC's are bad, we can look at the 
measures/$ and see that IC's gains are minimal.  I look at 8% gains at
100/hp and 
think that will buy a whole bunch of high octane fuel, or a whole bunch
of 
windshield washer fluid.
