So in preparation for the track this weekend, I decided to add some ducting to the front and see if it will help with the temps. I havent had any issues with temp unless the car was hot lapping then it would start to climb. it may not be the best looking shielding but It should work. the whole center section is vented. Ill probably end up sectioning off the oil cooler and power steering cooler at some time but for now this works.

looking great. not the prettiest ducting, but looks like you did a good job sealing it up.

What plugs are you running with E85 if you don't mind?

I got through $80 plugs every Week , I just installed some new ones last night and they are already fouled.

Yeah indeed! Yeah I was curious because watching you go into the infield off the bank was interesting because I was like stock ebrake? No way! But yeah post pics of your interior shots of your ebrake placement?
