I'd definatley look into a complete cold air kit. I was driving mine last night without the metal shroud for the K&N FIPK and my IAT's were 110 or so. That's with outside temps of 80-85. With the shroud in before, my IAT's were close to ambient temp. That hot air from the engine compartment will defiantley be an issue when running a blower.

it wouldn't fix anything but would let you know what's up and what you need to fix.
they would charge for the time and it's a matter of finding someone with the interest to do it. would be a place to start.

you don't even need to go to speed shop, any well equipped garage could
look at the stuff.

Something else I didn't see mentioned was running a 160* t-stat. That might help get those under hood temps a little lower. Does the ortech system have an intercooler? From the sounds of it, it didn't. If not, that might be a little much timing.

Also would a 34' radiator help with things??? I need to speak with Lyndon tomorrow and see how much fuel he has it set at. Im running 43 lb injectors so I know Ive got enough flow available. Im thinking that it would be better to richen it up a bit to be safe. Until then Im not going to put it in boost. I dont want any cracked pistons. Any other opinions/ ideas are appreciated.
