Are you going to put down the Ensolite IUO material as well?

no, i've read that it holds moisture and i had just planned on going with factory insulation over custom open loop carpet. we will see though.

the rod for the linkage barely hit the brake booster brace on the firewall. then once i cleared that it was hitting on the o2 sensor that screws into the header collector. once i finally figured i couldn't get around the sensor i removed it then had to go back and forth with the adjustments (like 5+ different adjustment points) until finally it was dialed in and went from P R N OD D 2 1. just kicked my butt is all
