Pretty ****ty thing to say though considering I've contributed accurate weight figures on probably 75% of the parts on an EVO in this very thread.
xcreatonx, yeah a lot of the bigger FMICs weigh a lot. I dropped down considerably on size of intercooler, went to a 2.3" thick core that is 22x10 in size and weighs 13 pounds. It's about the same size as stock, but the flow channels are a lot larger. I figure the frontal area is still high so I'm still getting a lot of air to transfer heat too and it should improve the actual heat transfer efficiency. Hopefully it can get close on actual thermal efficiency at my power levels.
If you are after 500+ WHP, there are probably better areas to pull weight from though.

FMIC's, I'd love to find a core that works that is LIGHT but the fact is, from all I've seen the heavy bar and plates cores just make more power after a few runs. Yes, a junk FMIC will make power for a single dyno pull, then the next one the AIT's go up, the next they go up more etc., same on the road/track. The AIT's just keep climbing and power is hurt from it.
I agree, better places to lose weight.
