Now that I have 740cc injectors, I want to upgrade to a godspeed FMIC. So, what do I need to make it all fit. I was going to get a godspeed fmic kit from ebay, then a Z1 oil cooler upgrade that I would relocate to a SMIC location, Z1 dualz relocate kit to stock intercooler location with dualz upgrade setup, AMS radiator. Would this all fit? could i put the oil cooler where the passenger smic went if i also put the itnake there? will ther ebe room for both? can i relocate my AC condensor in a similar fashion?

stick with side mounts. there are many articles abotu this one i was reading states it changes the efficient vertical flow desgin of stock to inefficient horizontal design of a FMIC.... you can get plenty big sidemounts for teh hp you want to run and on top of that a fmic blocks some and preheats the air flowing to everythign behind it...research

i know all the benefits of side mounts, its just a personal choice. i love the look of an fmic, and know the potential sacrifices i will have to make because of it. anyways, back to my question

well i can answer part of it...you could not relocate your ac condensor... its almost 2 feet wide... if your set on gettign eth fmic jsut get it put it in then start moving and playhign with postioning until it works....many people run the fmic so it obiously will work in many ways. id say get it then start relocating stuff...or hope someone has done the exact same setup and can provide advice...
