Default FMIC v Uprated Pre-Rad

Lookin at around 320 to 330bhp so not sure whether to go for a FMIC or just uprate the pre-rad and keep the chargecooler system???

Any thoughts would help. Are the FMIC as good as they claim????

Will the uprated pre-rad keep the ACT's down or will they climb after a decent blast???

Mods Gen 2, Decat exhaust, DS Race +, Tubular mani, GT25 Hybrid, FMIC or upgraded Pre-rad????

I'm running that power on the standard system and its fine for road use. If your going to do a lot of tracking put a front mount on or if your chargecooler is goosed.

With most uprated pre rads the temps will rise to the same as the std rad but will take longer to get there but also take longer to get back down to normal. Jek do a pre rad that gave lower temps, as of yet there's been no indepentant tests down but on the ones that were down by themselves the temps were down 10C iirc on fast road use.
