Been doing quite a bit more reading on all this.

I'm mostly concerned with trying to fix the loss of power you experience when driving around in traffic and in deserts when in warm/hot weather. Last year I went up to Alice Springs, drove around in days of 35+, don;t do that down where I live. The Patrol was a real hassle to drive, it lost so much power.

So I'll be putting a fan under my IC, from everything I've read makes quite an improvement in hot weather.

I'm still not sure which way to go with ICs? $1000+ or $300+? I can see pro's & con's for both.

I do want to get a larger scoop, ARE sell theirs for over $500 which seems like a crazy price to me. There's a guy on eBay selling for $180 but even that seems too much.
