What is that mount for on the bottom of the housing?

It is actually dual purpose "guard" for the bottom mounted drain plug, and also serves as a convenient jacking point. We put a custom drain on the bottom of the housing so servicing doesn't require soaking your air in gear lube, there is also a large filler cap on the top that we put on custom (it's standard on all of our housings) fill cap on the top so you don't have to fuss with squirting it in the small plug hole on the side of the gear carrier.

It's the little things, in addition to the big things....

Damn good idea. I've dealt with quite a few Fab 9's and with the drain plug sticking out the bottom it makes it a PITA to jack up. I have a "custom" block of wood for my jack with a small hole in it so I don't jack the rear end up by the drainplug alone!

lol.. I might have to slip Nick (or test equipment operator) a few bucks to "adjust" your numbers a bit.. :rofl:

Actually, given what you have in that car I wouldn't feel bad to get beaten by it. However, I will try my hardest to smack you down. :lolhit:

Yea, just started driving it and I love it.. Maybe we could race over the cones rather then though them.. lol

Update.. worked on the engine today. The FAST intake was ground down, primed and painted (the same silver as my old '69 Camaro stripes). With the intake on (and fuel rails) I think the coil-pack location looks better. All the blackend pullies are done and also installed. All that's left is to swap oil pans.
