Thanks Dreamer. I checked out DJTodd's Journal, but it was sparse on info. I will PM him directly to see if he can give me any tips/tricks. Sounds like he is probably going to be the best source of info since he has FMIC.

The Stillen kit allows for a bit more airflow as the heat exchanger doesn't block the radiator, as i understand it. Which also means that the oil cooler can stay in the airflow.

edit: I did find this thread useful JWillis thread useful though. Radiator Cooling suggestions (thanks for suggesting his name)

edit edit: i also see has the upgraded front mount heat exchanger for his Stillen kit so his upgrades are very relevant to my questions.

The standard stillen kit does, but most upgrade to a front mount cooler to help with rising temps so it does block some air flow. Though not nearly the same as a TT FMIC, but it seems from what I have read the main things are:
-Getting air into the proper places
-Getting hot air out effectively & quickly

I think many people focus on the coolers, larger front air intakes, etc. but forget that the hot air needs to get out of the engine bay which does not happen easily from factory. So vented hood, fender liners, etc can be larger factors.
