I was looking into what FMIC I could use, and the SRT4 would work minus the A/C. But, the tubing mess wouldn't be worth it. Spearco makes a FMIC upgrade for the SVO Mustangs, and the inlet and outlet is on the same side, which could work. I never got into it past looking at a pic though.

It really works though.
Sure nothing major like a real supercharger but it does work.
Brad even used a single E-ram and it made about 8 FWHP/TQ through the entire powerband on a moderately modified 2.5L. (non-SVT)
Some parts of his graph (mainly low and mid range) showed double digit gains. This is because the fan has a set cfm flow ability so the less natural draw of the engine the more "over boost" (so to speak) the little fan generates.
That's better bang for the buck then an aftermarket exhaust is???
If someone was serious about running a pair of them I would upgrade all the wiring with larger high quality wiring.
Audio King makes exactly what you need. Pure copper stranded wire (from 1000-2800 strand counts!!!) from 2ga to 8ga.
This is the same wiring I will be using for battery relocation and I just started using for alternator & starter wiring. 
It definite works because all the lighting is brighter and I am running off a dying dynabatt/Genesis to boot. (Found it's life expectancy)

Interesting. So, they have real gains. Any drawbacks?

I was thinking this too, ditch A/C and use an I/C that I saw laying around my neighbor's garage with the inlet and outlet on the same side.

Sure when the water is at the right temp, i.e. ice. Which as we know will never last in the summer in any car. Though that can very on the effcieny of the heat exchanger.
as long as the water is below charge temp it will have its 14:1 cooling capacity in the IC. Ice would certainly increase the heat removal efficiency but is not needed.

Right, but I do not beleive thats usualy the case. Especialy in the summer months. Well placed fmic for good air flow with minimal pressure loss and properly sized would be optimal for street/road race. Drag race, bring on the water and ice.

Demon, that twice today you've done the search for somebody. You're feeling quite benevolent I must say. Looks good on ya!
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

It's nothing new.
