I picked it up because it was available, it wont tweak, it was only $15 shipped and perhaps less flex to keep a better mesh.
All good CrazyKitty I looked at the CF plates (went with the milled AE) when putting my car together for this last weekend but had worries about heat since the motor I ran wasn't mine (thanks Cpt.America) In the end heat wouldn't have been an issue. That custom Fantom mill took everything I threw at it and never temped over 140

On a side note. I'm glad I'm not stock racing very much, locally or otherwise. Because I found out first hand that the whole battery "juicing" game is no joke, legal or not it makes a difference.
