I bought and installed a (used) belly-pan, and it made no difference whatsoever in water or oil temps. Is it because the foam is missing? Where do people get the idea that it improves cooling 20%? I know I've read that in a few threads.

Your temps seem quite high to me, but then again I have a fairly gutted NA, no undertray, and temp taken at the oil pedestal and I see 140~150 cruising temp and up to 180~190 after long hard runs up on the dragon where I leave the car in 2nd gear for 318+ corners of harsh redlining.
