I installed this brace a few months ago. It was a real pain in the butt! It was near impossible to line up all three screws with the holes in the firewall. The area is so tight. If you have big hands, its even worse.

Swapped out the 100 psi oil pressure gauge with a 150 psi oil pressure gauge from SpeedHut. Everything in the interior is finished and back together. :tup:

Cold idle oil pressure is 105. Warm oil pressure is 38 to 40. At 2500 rpm. Pressure is 90 to 95. 3000 rpm, oil pressure is 105 to 110.

This is where I have the Warning Lights set to.

OIl pressure LOW Warning - 25 psi. HIGH Warning - 125 psi.

Water Temp LOW Warning - 140F, HIGH Warning - 235F.

Diff Temp LOW Warning - 140F, HIGH Warning 240F. At this temp. I can turn the pump on. If temps still go higher. Then I can turn the fan on. :tup:

The gauges record LOW and HIGH readings to review later. :tup:

I'm just shocked there was something out of the SPL catalog you didn't have installed yet.

I'll take this back for now. I'll have 1 rubber bushing on each side. That is the bushing for the mid-link on the frame. That won't get changed until I decide on the type of rear shock I will use. Stock style or a true coil-over.

Is there a reason you wouldn't switch to a true type?

Yeah, how much clearance I will have between the 345 sidewall and the coil-over spring. I don't have much now.
