Oh yeah...kinda important question...how hot does the hydroboost cylinder get under normal or even hard driving? I have a fuel line wrapped around it, noticed it's a thick cast iron piece, and assume that's more for the high pressures that the brake fluid is under as opposed to the high temperatures that it deals with. If it gets hot I might have to reroute one of my fuel lines.

I have a question for your question, why is the fuel line wrapped around the master cylinder?

You might as well install the wideband, you'll have a hell of a time tuning that thing once it starts up without it.

That cover is for an early 80. You need to get one for a 99 and later truck using an LS1. This way the cover bolts to the oil pan as well as the bell. Vince
