Default I'm a -----

Ok so next week I am going to embark on my drive down to Florida and I'm pretty nervous becuase my car is not intercooled. It's only a four hour drive from Atlanta but the temperatures are reaching close to mid 90's. Is there any advice on how to keep everything cool? I was thinking of placing the filter lower to the ground to get fresh air and hopping it doesnt rain :P Most of it will be highway driving so I will not be boosting which will cut down on the heat. Again its not intercooled but I'm only boosting 4 pounds right now with my setup soooo.....Any other suggestions? If I'm being a ----- hole just let me know, I'd rather know that I'm just over reacting.

If you are really nervous, pull the actuator rod off your waste gate, no boost no problem.

Also just put your fan on a switch so you can run it from start up
