remove that ---- (warm air intake).. youll make a LIL more power :y

Walter, I know, but this is just a shitting backup plan or when it gets real hot. 50 degrees outside temp racing on a frozen lake equals big problems. I will be running this setup also during hot spring like weather. Cold water+hot turbo manifold=cracks :P

It might speed cracks, but it won't cause cracks. I ran around with no hood for 6 months; not counting running around while it was raining or through standing water, a couple of times I got a red hot turbo manifold doused by water fanned up over the fender by someone in an adjacent lane running through a mud puddle.

The problem is that most people don't realize that proper operating temp is both the coolant and the oil temperatures.

I wait until the oil pressure is low. About 16-20 psi at idle.

Good to know. It can't be good on the manifold??? I know brake rotors in a road race car can crack if they get hit with cold water. They also never crack on the track, just when they cool off. I haven't had anything good come from wet weather racing. I had to drive about an hour stuck at WOT, because of a throttle cable issue.

You make that sound like a bad thing. In the trailerpark, that is the only way we drive. ;)
