I have a blanket and heard horror stories of heat in street cars but my temp has never gone above 160 degs. in summer high desert driving for as long as an hour at a time. As far as retaining the carnage......., I hope I never have to find out.

Does the 904 have the same grenading issues as the 727?

Been running a CSI blanket on my drag car forever; no heat issues, but it's a tough installation and it blocks the band adjustments & pan, and is close to the headers. The Lofgren blanket looks easier to deal with, though apparently with no containment on the bottom (pan area).
Either way, it's a requirement for my car, and now that NHRA is treating them like harnesses, I'll look into the Lofgren piece. I've never seen a TF explode downtrack, so perhaps shrapnel & fluid getting to the rear tires at speed isn't an issue. Keeping shrapnel out of my feet & legs, though, is.
