What FMIC for 500bhp+ for GC8 Impreza?

Just thought I would ask stateside what people think would be an ideal fmic for a 500bhp+ GC8 Impreza?

I am currently using a PACE FMIC with up rated radiator but it is really struggling, not ideal at all for this kind of power.

I am finding it hard to find details on other makes of fmic (i.e. aps, hks, greedy, apexi) about what bhp they can handle, and more importantly what psi drop it has at this kind of bhp.

All information greatly received.

Regards,
Christian

Get any cooler with a "Skyline" Core...Check out the "Hybrid" Coolers made in Australia...Check out the XS Engineering models...

If your just going to drag race you could just go with the water to air intercooler.

If your going to do it then skip the kits that adapt a Skyline core since most Skyline owners upgrade those anyways. Look into getting something from ARC since their cores will be more efficient and you can custom order whatever you want if they don't already have a kit made.

You've never heard of ARC? They list ARC down a little ways on this page. http://www.splparts.com/Z32/Turbo/Intercooler.asp
Contact some of the vendors and see if they can source you something if you can't deal directly with the shops in Japan.
