xs power vs stock FMIC

The ebay XS power FMIC is better than stock FMIC BAR NONE!!!

#1- my tuner said that the xspower had no issues on the dynojet and it did its job.

#2- I beat the fuggin crap out of my car for 143 miles today, and I noticed that just sitting like 12 minutes and then 15 minutes and then 45 minutes the coolant needle was not stuck on operating temp! IT WAS LOWER! witch is telling me that the car is getting cooler air. when it was stock it NEVER did that. OH my car has 15,000 miles so I dont need a thermostat.

#3 after the 143 mile beat down I felt the intercooler pipes and the inlet was mildly warm and the out let was cool!!!!

I hope this helps you guys.
Thanks,
Matt

still really no definitive testing. why didn't you do a back-to-back on the dyno with the xs vs. stock?

Your "touching the intercooler pipes" and "looking at the coolant needle" tests have no merit. Until you log intake temps you wont know if its any better.

the coolant tempeture has /if you talking about antifreezer in the radiator/ nothing to do with the intake air tempeture.the thermostat take care of that tempeture. if its lower then usual then its stocked open probably.
you have an intake tempeture gauges?
