doesnt matter if youre intercooled or running a smaller pulley than a 3.4 or so. having low IATs is not really that big of a deal once youre decently modded. anyone that says "the coldest air possible, regardless of bends" is a moron, straight up. around the 3.2 pulley range, flow helps more than anything. i bet if i had an FWI right now and switched to an open cone i would pick up 5-8 whp, if not more.
