If so, what supporting mods do you have?

Do you ever have any issues with overheating?

I have a ARC TMIC and running 360bhp, no overheating issues, but air charge temps rise very quickly reducing power very noticeably.

You are dreaming you need a FMIC to achieve a genuine 400 BHP. Some bespoke oversized TMIC can do 400 but not a Newage one, and certainly not safely without risking high charge temps and det. Man up and go front mount if you want to join the 400 club.

only when stuck in traffic. temp drops quite quick when moving again. I have a gauge linked to IC so always keep an eye on the temperature.

394bhp / 380 lbs.ft on a built 2.1 stroker.
But had to use a Grimmspeed topmount.
The mod list is lengthy and includes 3 gearbox rebuilds/replacements.

I once read that the classic bonnet shape doesn't allow enough air flow into the scoop, even with a bigger scoop compared to a newage bonnet. Might have been Harvey who wrote it but I'm unsure about that.

You can run a 400bhp car with a TMIC but charge temp issues are a problem.

A tmic is a tmic though, Andy Forrest has also run over 400 on a newage top mount.
