CigaR007 - I'm not there yet, but what if someone had a wideband and programmable ECU and was going to shoot for as lean a cruise as possible. I assume higher octane will allow advanced timing without ping, but will it be less prone to ignite at all with too lean of a mixture? I guess I can wait to see if I ever get the Megasquirt hooked up and experiment myself.

96SATSL - I assume your spats and garage door seal is just attached with small, self tapping screws? I guess you went in to the metal underbody and not in to the plastic trim?
Also spats are just in front of the wheels, there's nothing behind them to help with bringing the flow back together?

You underbody mates in well with the plastic trim/bumper pieces, is that all just epoxied to make it look that smooth? I like how you avoided the exhaust, I had always wondered how best to do that. Did you just leave a hole for oil and filter changes? I need to find some coroplast...

Great numbers, great thread, thanks.
