I have worked with this for about 3 1/2 years with a touring car and also another 3 -4 years with pan cars. Look at this link to answer some questions........ I have done this for the MTX3 MTX4 and the NT1 with success and without having a temp issue....actualy lowered the temps because of the disipitation of the carbon fiber. Even when cutting the carbon fiber dry with high speed tooling, it remains cool to the touch.
