And IC does nothing for peak power before heat soak which you're less prone to with stock tune. You will see a cooler IAT for sure but that should come with a lower boost from DME adjustment to preset load target, power will be made the same. That being said, you probably WILL see higher numbers only because of bigger STD/SAE correction factor applied (again, double effort with modern turbo engine) as weather is getting hotter.
Makes sense, thanks for the info.

I figured the FMIC would not show an increase in power on stock tune, I'm mostly looking to battle heat sink issues I know I will most likely experience on a full track in FL weather.

After FMIC and maaaaybe Intake (still debating since I understand stock one is very efficient) I will decide on which tuning platform to go with.

My goal in not peak numbers, more interested in usable power in the midrange while still smooth as stock.
