The clutch is holding up fine. The tires are currently taking the abuse. I suspect that if I run slicks at the track the clutch will begin to seriously degrade, among other things.

Bingo, it is very linear. There is not sudden change in power anywhere. It starts pulling down low and slightly starts gaining in power. And at no point does it feel like power drops off.

excuse me if I ask dumb questions, but would I need the SC in order to install the IC? In the pics on your site, you have an SC'd CL-s coupled with the IC on top.

Yes the intercooler is only for a S/C application. It cools the charged air to allow for higher boost. Cooler air, more dense, more HP. I don't know how long our engine would last at 8psi of non-intercooled boost.

All the additional piping in a FMIC system with a roots style blower would decrease response significantly. To the effect of about a second when you hit the gas. Versus right now the boost hits instantaneously.
But if it is the look you want then one of my current projects may fit the bill. I am creating a new heat exchanger system for the liquid/air IC system which will resemble a FMIC somewhat. That wasn't the purpose, I am trying to get greater efficiency out of the system, but it will be a result.

^ My Acura service advisor has an '04 s2k with the CT blower and aftercooler plus and additional heat exchanger mounted in front of the radiator. He said it really made a difference. Looks
and is fast as hell.
