actually you DID say it was, "good the 350-400hp range." and, for the sake of arguement, everyone will benefit from a fmic...to say they wouldn't is like saying they won't benefit from a 3" turbo-back. but otherwise, fair enough...

what do you mean by "overdone" as it regards fmics??? how can that be overdone? it's a mod. that's it. if you've done all the "basic" modifications then that's just another step to making power.

anyway, IF he's looking for 12's to 13's on a 2g fwd then he's going to have to do all those "basic" mods, and i think it's safe to say that he'll need a LOT more than a supra sidemount AND all those "basic" mods to hit 12's...i doubt with all the basic mods he'll break 14 seconds (not 'cause it's not possible, but because of his obvious lack of experience).
