The car simply known as "The Talon"

Will do, I should have the fuel fittings this week, but the car is in storage and it is damn cold here. Not to mention my birthday is this weekend so I doubt much will get done lol

You should thermal disperse coat the FMIC like you mentioned... Would be a damn good sleeper. :D

and happy birthday!

Hey thanks for the birthday wishes. I contacted swain tech today but I am not sure if a 2-5% reduction in IAT is worth almost $300 lol

When you're all-ready balls deep, another cm is inconsequential :)

Ha balls deep is right. Just betwenn the clutch and transmission I have almost $12,000 invested.

Aren't the thermal disperse coatings ceramic based (like what MAP does on their intake manifolds)? That wouldn't be good for an intercooler. Everything I've read so far points to anodizing if you wanted a black sleeper look. ETS charges $100 to anodize an FMIC, not a bad price.

Nice build btw, and welcome to the forum.

Actually no, heat dispersion coatings are designed to "pull" heat from what they are applied to where as ceramic coatings are insulators, holding heat in.

Ah, then I was told wrong by some salespeople.

Hard to be a sleeper with a 1G. The only 1Gs still out there are modded to hell, nobody is going to expect a clean 1G on the road to not have power.
