How is a top mount more effective in trapping cold air? The hot air inside the engine bay rises and you'll have a lot of heat soak. I did't bring up V-mount because the guy's asking about a top mount and front mount. V-mount would be awesome, but too much fabbing. Same yourself the trouble, loss of power, and weight and go with the FMIC.

 

man this topic started on some guy thinking about going with 2 intercoolers - one up top, one in front... and everyone swayed off into V-mount land lol
