Which tunnel plate?
I am buying or making a tunnel plate. What is better 3/8" aluminum or 0.134" stainless. All I am trying to do is stiffen things up. Will be putting on Bilstens and Z06 sway bars also.

Jim,
The stiffest plate we offer is the 3/8" thick aluminum version. It has about the same heat shielding effects as our stainless steel, but is much stiffer.
I hope that helps, Jeff
