You probably didn't even notice it with the extra hp under the hood!


That stinks, I hope you get a new one soon!

I used aluminum rivets too so I'd guess about 50 hp.lol

Yeah I reodered one right after it happened. It just sucks because now I get to paint it all over again.

Well I just installed a CRES webbing. Can't wait to go test it on the trail. Probably get 20hp from the wind vortex cooling effect.

I did some vents about a year ago. Never have bad water issues.
I spray my engine off at the car wash so I figured a little rain down the vents isn't going to hurt anything.
Later I added a 6.5 spal fan to blow heat out from under the hood.
Works great.
