So first mod to the flat bottom! The heat is getting insane!!!!! Street driving my passenger floor where feet would go gets up to 165*! On the track I noticed 225*! So I'm sure it's the same temp under me and my seat since I have a XYZ pipe and my exhaust exits out behind my back where the gas tank used to be. Now the XYP pipes wrapped but it's almost touching the floor. I think next time I might spend a fortune and buy more reflexive heat backing and do the floor inside the frame rails and maybe the drive shaft tunnel.
The real mod was for the gas tank! Good news, cutting your tank in half works 100% for fuel starve. Bad news deleting the heat sheild and the E-brake heats the gas up to much! I ran down to zero dots on the track, came in to fill up and steam came out the gas cap. Not good!! It got so hot my roll over check valve wasn't venting anymore and pressure was building.
So my mods so far were wrapping the resonator coming out of the XYZ pipe, the 45* bend which faces the tank, and the ultra quite resonator. I also got JEGS 1100* radiant heat blocking film which isn't cheap at $27 for 12x24". The floor and tunnel it's going to be cheap! Last I put a NACA duct facing right at the middle of the tank. This all might not keep me cool but at least the gas should be better.
