Can't clock the O2 sensor. I'll leave it be and try to avoid Dukes of Hazard type stunts again I don't think I have any pictures on here of how it is mounted, but it's a real tight fit. If I can get rid of the AC compressor next year, then I'll have some room.

Yep, High IAT's are good. I've seen some pretty big differences between ambient and 120 degrees. I've had IAT's as high as 180 during the summer with no negative hit on the mpg. But now that it's cold, I can barely get 10 degrees over ambient with the full grill block. I like my header wrap, but it may have to go because it is keeping my underhood temps too low
