The clearance is fine..it is the power steering coil that sits about 1/2 an inch below the lip, but never caused an issue to me

Even if I could put the belly pan on I still would not, because I would be stopping the airflow through the radiator...So no you dont need the underbelly pan...

Yes, you can keep the a/c but I opt to take it off since I never use it anyway...

as far as the shielding, I have taken off the shield on the left side in front of the intakes, now my intakes gets so much fresh air and my engine bay stays cool...

as far as pressure drop there are no stats that I know off, but there is a big difference from my boost since I took off the greddy SMIC...I lost all the lag I had, I see my boost rise up quicker than before and I gained almost 1 1/2lbs of boost when I replaced the greddy SMIC.

All I can say I love this set up and it is worth all the money...you get the best of both worlds..direct air to the radiator and to the IC

Thanks, I will dyno the car before installing the single...the previous owner said that it dynoed at 309 to the wheels when SR motorsports tuned it..never dynoed it yet to back it up..and also that was with the old set up..if that was true I should be getting more now since the feel of the car is a whole lot better than the old set up..much faster feel..love it...

Just saving up a little bit more for the single..I'm almost there...
