After driving around for a while I hand checked temps at the dip stick, intake plenum and runners. It was really hot, barely touchable. Is that normal?
My head temps range from 320 up to 360 going up a hill at 4000rpm. Warmed 2.0 with megasquirt. AFR on load around 12~13. Intake temps reached almost 100 in my PVC intake with a K&N filter. No rain tray. Right now I have a 4-2-1 header to a Magnaflow with no tail pipe. So all the exhaust is exiting under the car. Could this be my issue? Thanks |

Sounds good!
Now… toss that rain tray back in and see what happens! And the tail pipe…. BTW you’re in the right engine temp zone when you can slowly(2-3sec) pass the dipstick back and forth without burning you fingers. (That’s the old school method) |
