So...FMIC, yay or nay?

Ive searched and searched and still could not come up with an exact answer. I have the CT SC on the car...I have the HBP waiting to get swapped out (thanks mrsteve ). I also have an intercooler as well as all of the piping for it. I went with 2.5 inches. What is everyones opinion on this...Will there be any gains? I love the look of it, I cant lie and say that is not a motivating factor. I was supposed to drop the car of on Weds, but the installer got a little backed up which has given me some time to think about it. Ive read that there will be a lag in throttle response...any idea how much? What are opinions of the FI gurus>....TIA

UPDATE...well I spoke to essarak. he said he was running the HBP. after the IC was added he saw a loss of about 1.5-2 psi...the IC basically negated the HBP. He also mentioned that after he installed the IC is when he started seeing the problems wth the gas mileage etc. Not sure if I am going to do this...he never tuned the car after either, so im sure tuning it will make a difference. I def. do not want my car to get 7mpg though...

for what i read, IC on sc will not help that much at all, since sc run in low boost unlike turbo's. You won't see much of a lag either because sc runs by the crank. but, i just read them on different sites not 100% on that...
