A Meth kit or a bigger FMIC

Which one is a better mod for the engine longevity if I go tracking twice a year?
I want "credible/preferably scientific" feedback here not the pointed Search button.
Thank You

If you have to ask....then I would steer you towards a fmic. If you know what you are doing I'd steer you towards meth.

Both period.

Both will give you gains, the METH you need to know what your doing or have someone who knows what they are doing setup the kit with fail safes. If you don't have a fail safe you take a risk of a catastrophic failure.

The intercooler gives you decent gains down low but on the back end above 4000rpm the gains are very noticeable. We just dyno tested our intercooler and I was amazed with the higher RPM results.

No meth and just 92 pump with all the bolt on's we were hitting 400whp on our dynojet.

If you have any questions regarding the intercooler let me know!

Good luck on your decision.

Thanks!

Michael

That is a good answer!

Meth is not for the casual type of guy who can't tinker or work on cars themselves.
