<VV> Exhaust temp... (was push rod tubes)

[Cash Case]

Thanks-
  As for the oil cooler making things hotter, I'm not sure it would  
effect this engine. I have on lower shrouds because I'm running  
Clark's Ultimate headers, or their really bitchin' headers or  
whatever they're called.  ;op
I have 12" stainless steel glass packs. I might have to take this all  
off though. It's really loud. At least it is from under the car!  ;op
