The question about overheating, sure there have been many people that experienced overheating after a FMIC installation. However, that's not everyone.
Given a fairly stock car, it will run hotter with an FMIC than with a stock mount or a v-mount. You are restricting the air flow into the radiator with the FMIC in front. Some cars experience higher temps than others for various reasons.
What can you do?
1. There are stock mount IC's that provide the same performance levels as FMIC's
2. V-mount is an option, but a more expensive option
3. Create some custom air ducting to bring fresh air from under the FMIC directly to the radiator
4. Pray you are one of the lucky ones that doesn't really have a heat problem
