    I have done some research on it and am wondering if anyone has found a name brand FMIC that works with a CAI, or am I going to need to go short ram? I have searched quite a few vendors sites and am unable to find an definate answer. Any personal experiences?

    I am just concerned about Heat soak if I decide to go up to say a 20g. You think a larger TMIC will be enough?

    Process West! Looking at their product seems like they have one of the best on the market currently.

    Yes and yes. TMIC unless you're going for a really large turbo. Heatsoak is over-rated, FMIC and TMIC's cool down very similarly once you get moving. Just get a good splitter to fit a larger TMIC, and you're set.
