You know, I thought about putting an 1''x2''x22'' support out of the left over material across the belly pan but once I bolted all the sides up it really had no play waht so ever. I think the 1.5'' of sealing foam on the front and back act as leverage and cause the belly pan to have a natural concave bend to it. EVEN pushing down on it from the inside takes quite a bit force. It is very fucking snug.

I got up to about 90 mph last night and if my damn FC wasn't so loud maybe I could have heard something. Only way to check is with a wind tunnel I guess.


BTW, I drove the car to work this morning and it was about 56*F ambient and my AIT sensor was reading 18*c most the drive. I had to lean up my 10*C to 30*C Air Intake Temp-to-Injection table because I have never seen those low temps. Even this time last year with my last motor, the lowest reading I would get after some driving was about 24*C and I believe that was on 45* F mornings. SOOO good it makes you wanna slap your mamma!


So Brian... why do you need a AIT sensor that can handle 300* F ??
