I don't recommend the FF for DD/Commuting due to the 1/2 size radiator and lack of A/C if you don't do a custom A/C set up. 1/2 size radiators are fine for weekend warriors, but in hot climates in stop and go traffic, especially with the A/C on

I've been to South Carolina and it's hot and humid in the summer. Maybe in the morning or evening would fine to drive this set up.

Yeah I'm running a air filter. On the blue Evo I was running a Evo compressor and civc condensor with custom lines. The civic condensor had to be flipped on its side so it wasn't as ice cold as I would like. On the black Evo its a Evo compressor again with a custom AC setup from a soon to be vendor on here. AC is ice cold.

Honestly I did FF because alot of people talked about it running with AC but I had yet to see anyone actually do it. Most never bothered with AC or did AC but for whatever reason never finished the project. it sounds insane on full tilt.

+2 on the OBX. Its ok for a few pulls but if you are driving aggressively and its hot out it will get heat soaked faster then a decent manufac.

AMS is nice but I think you can get the same quality from other companies. STM, ETS, JDL. Its all in Turbine choice. For the power goals you want a 6266 would be perfect.
