Default meth vs FMIC

which would do a better job cooling? this is for daily driving 7psi windshield washer fluid. i'm about to order another trick kit and am wondering if the guy should go fmic or just go with a meth kit. were talking towing and stuff like that too. which i would almost think meth would be better because it could cool better at a slower mph. say going through the hills.

whatcha think?

why not both? FMIC are cheap and easy to build. meth adds up over time a FMIC is one time purchase. if worried about cooling at low speeds get a fan for it

both is good too. but this is a costomer and if i say hey you need this plus this plus this......................... then he will give me the "uh never mind then". so thats what i'm tying to prevent. he understands its not gong to be cheap but theres no since in making it overly pricy and complex. so the best of the two is what i would recomend.

In this case, I would do an intercooler. Never have to worry about him running it out of fluid and popping a cylinder.

after temp is reached the air will be hot all the time.
meth is only used when you lay in to it.
an fmic is being used all the time while the motor is running
so the air is nice and cool.
but if he wants to fill his meth tank up everyday it's his money.
he will need at least a 3 gallon tank, depending on the jet used for the meth
it should last an hour or more.

Front mount IC first. Even at 40mph there is a good amount of air hitting it. Just make sure who does the tunning sets it up for towing.
And then later in life sell them the water meth kit, we have coming out....
