does any body have pics of how they mounted a FMIC

and where is a good place to get one w/out paying $1000(links please)

whats the best size, i am thinking around the 600-700 hp range(i know this is high, but i don't want to have to buy one twice, i want to get a good one now while i have the $ so i won't have to get a bigger one someday when this is no longer my daily driver)

^^ Iunno about that. I agree that flow is proportionate to volume, but when you are talking an extra 1-2m of piping I don't think it'd work to run a pipe that thin. The theory is right but there's probably a cut off size as you said.

Also shid you are right to an extent with the piping over the manifold, but an exhaust manifold gets extrememly hot, and they are pretty big so there will be a decent amount of heat radiaton. Any piping running across it is going to pick up a lot of heat. Adding say 10-15 degrees C of heat to the air temp before it hits the IC might only give you 5-8 degrees up in the throttle body (total guesstimate), but that still isn't going for the most eficient setup.. we all know that intake temps make big changes to A/F ratios and timing...
