Striker,
I ended up going with the M2 Large SMIC becuase the I didn't want to mess with the FMIC install. From all that i read, the FMIC install is a real PITA!.
You don't have to relocate the battery with the M2/ASP large SMIC...the mini battery fits in the stock location next to the Smic. I can email you a pic of mine if you want.

Word of advise. If you want to get an aftermarket intercooler get you ecu first. Many people make this mistake over the years I know of many people who have killed there engine because they do not do things in correct order. If you have catback or any mod on exhaust & an induction kit your ok without running lean. If you do any other mod after this you'll run lean. You'll feel great power increase etc but I bet you withing next 5,000 miles you'll have dead engine. The intercooler not only cools the intake charge, when the intake charge is cooled and becaomes more dense it means that more inatke charge is aloud into engine. cooler air means more power, but cooler air and more volume of air means alot more power. So my point is not only do you get cooler air in the engine you get alot more air in the engine because the more cooler the air is the more dense it becomes, the more dense it becomes means the more room there is for more. If you have a lot more air in your engine without any compensation for more fuel you will run lean, have higher combustion temperature, detonation = dead engine alot quicker. Get ecu upgrade first then you are safe to mess around with intercooler, but don't make the mistake of doing the intercooler and think you only need ecu for mid pipe, you'll regret it.

another word to the wise
that little greddy is a POS....and is way too small.
get a real intercooler...not something barely better than stock.
j
the m2 large is the way to go. its huge and it performs.

Ok, so I read the whole post in hopes of finding out what Large SMIC I can purchase (don't care if I have to relocate the battery) that will work with my twins and then will also work when I go single next year...anyone?

i was planing on going with the Blitz FMIC. Any reason for me not to? From reading this i didnt really get any feel that i shouldnt, but i was hoping it could MAYBE get addressed a bit more for me.
Also, Just for arguments sake, If i got a new IC and had a boost controler and limited my boost to 10psi would i still run lean even if i didnt have an upgraded ecu?

Yes CWR = Crooked Willow Racing
Yes it can be used with twins or a single
Yes it is marginally bigger than the M2 large
CWR SMIC core dim. 13" x 17" x 3.5" = 773.5cuin volume
ASP race (M2 large)12.55" x 17" x 3.5" = 746.7cuin volume
In either case they are both HUGE - splitting hairs but I much prefer the end tank design of the CWR vs the M2

At road course, the fmic will give colder charge air, but overheating coolant is issue. The M2's will hold charge temps to a reasonable limit . At thunderhill, 85F day, scc meas'd 158F with M2 Med, vs 248F with stock IC, 13 psi boost. With M2 IC and m-comp rad, coolant was 210F max.
Traffic crawl with ac on will blow hot underhood air back thru smic. Fan on smic will control heak soak well.

So what about Chuck Huang's RE HMIC
He uses a huge and efficient core with 935 cfm capacity? Is the HMIC another option for road racers if the SMIC is not ideal for using an Anfini Y-pipe??
