SR ARC parts ?

[Mi Beardo es Loco]

ARC is a little expensive but was just curious on performance on their induction box and side mount intercooler. A friend of mine want to keep his SR low profile so he's sticking with the SM but wants to upgrade to a more efficient IC. I know that a s15 IC could hold up to 15psi but what would you expect from the ARC unit over stock? Is it honestly better than a pretty good Front mount?

Also, the induction box is a pretty nice piece and have seen this on some really high performing cars but for the price is it worth it? I've recently seen this on the FS section but they've sold pretty fast.

Anyone with any experience with ARC or SR ARC parts?
