Default Wow dave, you really flip flopped on that one, i always remember you saying the ebay FM had lowerIAT

's. why the change of heart? I have never seen someone bolt up the ebay FM and switch over to ER's and test in the same conditions, have you?

You can't find a consensus in the archive b/c no one can agree lol.

Default personally i like the FMIC more, but data is data ... do i think a difference of 5 degrees

matters? naw. i like the FMIC for the price and the performance ... even if you have to cut up your front end.

im just saying ER deltas are slightly better, they are also 1000 dollars more expensive

in the past when there wasnt as much data, i shrugged it off as them being equal.... i suppose to do truly scientific tests you would have to have a super controlled environment etc ...

Default Yeah I hear ya, hard to beat the price tho like you say. I think the JHM instructions are

pretty good at keeping the hacking to a minimum but it's still not for everyone.

I'll take a little more work and 1000 dollars saved any day tho

Default I have the ASP FMIC and wish I had gone with the ERs. The IAT is better for WOT and during...

day to day my IAT delta is about 20-25 deg in traffic. I have the EFK on full at all times.
