Ok, so it's starting to warm up and I've been planning on making one of these. One question I have is would ABS plastic be safe to use? The melting point is much lower then nylon 221F as opposed to the nylons 420F. I ask because I have a bunch of left over 3/8" sheets that would work great for this if it won't melt.

I know engine temp in the Jeep sits around 209F. What kind of temps does the throttle body see?
