I am running the original radiator. When I say HOT, its is not overheat HOT, I took it out this summer (103 deg), was in stop and go traffic and it did fine. So, it runs at the right temp. It has never overheated.

I am running a AEM wideband. My afr's are: cruise 14-16 and WOT 10-11. When I pull the plugs, it does not get good fuel distribution, I think mainly because of the intake setup. Two short runners and two long outside sweeps. Inner plugs burn correct, outside plugs burn rich.

I have thought about running a turbo blanket, from some of the youtube vids, it really looks like it contains the heat! Good idea.

Does the same concept work with wrapping the up/down-pipes?
