If the ambient temp never goes above 70F, the front mount IC will work just fine but if it gets hotter than that, you should consider a v mount.
I have made and used stock mount IC, custom apex front mount IC, and v mount IC. I found v mount to perform the best in terms of cooling both the water temp and air temp. Why would I put it on my own car if it doesn't work?
How many of you have tried all 3 kinds of setups?

Check out 9Base3's AST mounting. I'd like my AST mounted that way for my VMIC setup.

Vmounts look nice and I am sure that they work just as well as any other IC. But they cost so much, i don't belive that they are worth the cost. But hey it's not like we don't all waste cash on **** we dont really need. FMIC gets my vote.

I'm with FD3'sboost, its just too expensive. And as noted earlier ,with proper ducting a FMIC will work fine. And for those like myself who have removed the A/C and looped the P/S rack, you have even more air flowing for you since the A/C condensor and P/S colling line are not blocking any of your airflow.

Chuck I want to add that I think your v-mount is a great product, and those who can afford it should jump all over it. Especially for those who want to, or stilll have their A/C, P/S or stock front bumper.
Great job!
Great job!
