Wow, didnt even know you could do such a thing. I thought that everyone that had a plate like that didnt have heat or a/c. I would totally give up a/c if I gained room like that! Anyone online that sells those or could I just use a regular hvac delete plate and cut a hole in it for the lines.

It's all back together..
I killed 3 & 4 in the old one.. the Drum Ballooned out, Snap Ring Came out, shattered the Sprag and flared out the Sunshell. Basically it tore it all to hell..

The new one that went in has all kinds of good stuff in it, it pulls hard, doesn't even sound like it has a Stall in it.

I recently put in QA1 Adjustable Coil-Overs in the back, been playin with them on a set of Slicks.

It's doin alrite..
