    Awesome! This "may" somewhat ease my paranoia of joining the Spun Bearing Club

    How much does that thing weigh? Also, how is that going to protect the oil pan from someone jacking up the engine by it? Isn't that how almost all of them get dented?

    Looks like it'd be good for aerodynamics at least. Subscribed for final pics and price!

    Ask Stealthee if this would have helped his oil pan and filter

    I'll have to weigh this one, but this won't be the material the final product is made out of. This is just cold rolled steel to save on costs in case we screwed it up. Stainless and Aluminum should be a bit lighter.

    It should also help on keeping your engine bay clean.

    It won't help you if you use a dumbass mechanic. I do have an idea for that though that will be in the works next week.

    I don't know how much ventalition the engine gets from underneath, but perhaps you could add some ducts to help bring some cool air into the bay? Seems like this would make the running temperature increase a bit.

    you would think it would increase bay temps but if designed correctly it helps decrease bay turbulence and actually cools much better. the ideal design would incorporate hood venting as well.

    I'll be sure to take some temperature readings to see if it is necessary for ventilation with this belly pan.

    I know I plan on running this pan with Cianci's Victory hood so I have a louvered hood to release any engine bay heat. But, we will definitely do some testing this weekend to see what effects it may have on the under hood temperatures.
