AMS/ETS or Blitz FMIC?
I know a lot of ppl would say definitely AMS or ETS b/c they are solid and prices are way better. But if money is no object, would you buy ETS/AMS FMIC or Blitz FMIC? and reasons please.

Hey Guys while we are putting up specs, I will go ahead and throw in our .02 cents
The AMS Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X Front Mount Intercooler is a direct bolt on utilizing your stock piping and mounting points with purpose built cast end tanks for the Evolution 10. This intercooler has over 80% more internal flow area than its stock counterpart. Our stock Evolution 10 gained 10 Wheel horsepower over the stock core just by bolting it on, without even re-tuning the ECU!
We tested many intercooler cores before finding the best performing core available. The bar and plate style core is 12.4" tall, 20" wide and 3.5" thick flowing 1250 cfm. This is the same durable, race proven intercooler core we used on our record setting Time Attack EVO, proven efficient to 751 whp
Exclusive Features
* Direct factory replacement with NO cutting or trimming required
* Adds 10 whp WITHOUT re-tuning the ECU
* 80% more flow area over stock
* Bolts right up to the stock piping
* Utilizes the factory intercooler hangers along with added supports
* Cast end tanks for smoother more efficient air flow
* UNLIKE OTHER AFTERMARKET INTERCOOLERS, the AMS unit incorporates an angled inlet just like the factory for a proper fit with the intercooler piping
* All AMS intercoolers are pressure tested after assembly to 50 psi
Specifications
* 12.4" tall, 20" wide (32" with end tanks and bracket) and 3.5" thick
* 1250 cfm flow and only 1 psi pressure drop at 650 whp
Options
* Available with or without an AMS logo stenciled on the core
Please PM me for pricing and shipping

Now, as for the Blitz. Does ANYONE have a good picture of it? I've seen tiny pictures of it and it looks like it has a logarithmically tapering end-tanks which I think would produce better usage of the core overall. (At least from what I can "simulate" as a thought experiment using basic fluid dynamic principles.) But, I freely admit I could be completely wrong. Anyone with this kind of engineering background want to chime in here?
I think the other thing that separates the Blitz from other aftermarket IC is that it uses Tube + Fin as opposed to Bar + Plate design...there's some debate there too but I'm not going to go into that. Google will tell you much of what you need to know.
