do any of you guys have any tips for battling the summer heat under the hood? I just ordered louvers, and I was wondering if theres any other good options to aid with heat soak. I have the 0081 head on my 00, so im trying to prolong its life! I just turned over 150k, so the break-in period should end in like a year, right?

I still run around 195 degrees average just driving around town. In traffic it will creep up to 210 degrees but I just flip my e fan switch and it cools back down to 195 quick. If I'm really sitting in bad traffic ill run e fan nonstop. I've been lucky so far running cool only had issue when I wired my efan up reversed to the switch and it would get hotter.

Thanks, I'm still trying to figure out what i want to do to cover the rear tires though. Got pulled over for them sticking out while i was home on leave. Drove it up from Florida where no one cares and was barely home long enough to attempt to cover the rears. He didn't care, didn't want to hear my excuse, let me off with a warning and told me i had 5 days to comply with it however i was only home for 3 more days so i kinda ignored it. I'll figure it out next time I get a chance to come back up to PA.
