I think it needs to be coated with something to repel heat. It still gets a little warm. Any suggestions? I used engine paint thinking it would keep it cooler. Here is a link to my homepage. It has the pics. They are too big to put on this board. Go to performance. Wicked SVT Also, can anyone explain how to post pics and change the size of them on these boards? 2FAST4U 2000 Contour SVT

As for dynoing, there isn't any place around here with a dyno so that won't be happening anytime soon. I can feel a difference though. It pulls noticably harder in 2nd and 5th. I don't know if anyone else has this problem but my engine produces an intense amount of heat; so I think that using thermal tape would probably be the best way to go. I did notice that after using the car for about 30 minutes (driving hard at times) it was pretty hot. Let me know any suggestions. 2FAST4U 2000 Contour SVT
