The only problem I have for dyno runs comparing TMIC's and FMIC's is that the TMIC will lose some of it's advantage due to heatsoaking, sincce the car is not in motion.

A big fan doesn't help the situation that much either.

Personally, I'd like to give the TMIC a little bit of love, since I never stoplight race or drag race anyone. I'm usually on the track if anything. For an AutoX, I'd still run a VMIC or a FMIC because of the staging time, unless you're spraying something to cool down the intercooler before you start.

I'd find an aftermarket hood that has an even larger surface area (Anyone have measurements on the Odura/Odula or Knight Sports hoods) and use a larger intercooloer like the ARC, HKS or RE 1.5 to help with the cooling capacity.

You can always overcomplicate the system by using nitrous sprayers on the TMIC when staging, then using water and meth to further cool the charge. That should easily combat heatsoak, it's just annoying to do for a street car.

And nitrous is illegal almost anywhere on any autox/racetrack.
