Intercoolers

I have a 93 rx-7 that im going to upgrade the intercooler on. I like the way FMIC's look and they are a little bit cheaper but harder to install then a stock mount. Does a front mount intercooler offer any advantages over a stock mounted intercooler? Is it worth the effort to move the radiator and all around or should i just go with a upgraded stock mount? My car is going to be a street car and im going to keep the TT setup, but upgrade to 99 spec turbos,. Maybe that will help anyone who wants to respond.
THanks,
Austin

it all depends what you use the car for. If you are into drag racing, then the fmic is best. If you are into track events then the smic is best do to needing airflow to the radiator. Fmic have an overall better effect on cooling your charge temps though, due to not heat soaking.
