Good discussion, feedback, and questions are key to longevity of a forum. Is this the precedent that you would like to be set?
I find it petty that a Manufacturer/vendor has to use a technicality to have a post removed, instead of properly addressing the question.
If the administration finds my (typically rather pointed) questions unreasonable or unacceptable, so be it. I'll stop asking them.
Had the same question in the post below been asked by a "normal" user, it would not have been reported. Is it so terrible to ask for quantified evidence of a manufacturer's claims?

We did see some slight heat effects on the thin plastic battery tray after extended track sessions so we redesigned our heatshield to cover the tray as well. The injector ECU showed no heat effect. We provide thermal wrap in our kit to protect all wiring in the area of the turbo.
Cheers.

We've melted fans with exhaust manifolds that are both Ceramic coated AND wrapped AND heat shielded. Are you sure that's enough?
You guys use thermocouples; what kind of EGTs were you seeing with your tune, and what was the temperature of the surface of your battery, heat shield, and exhaust manifold after a session on track?
