<VV> LM turbo's and no lower shrouds

[ScottyGrover at aol.com]

Arizona is a large state with a  much-varied climate.  If you are  at about 
1000' elevation in Phoenix with summer temperatures over 100 degrees  for 
more of the year than not, that's one temp. problem someone might have to  
face, but if you're at 7000"at Flagstaff, that's another story (reasonable 
cool  summers, long-john winters.)  Of course if you're living a Cottonwood or  
Jerome or maybe Sedona, and have to travel up highway 89A through Oak Creek 
 Canyon with the 2000'+ climb up Birthday Cake Mountain, you'd put a load 
on your  turbo that might heat your engine considerably.

Scotty,  I have never had a heating problem and I live in AZ.  I do 
use the  pressure/retard on my turbo (forgot about that little 
mod).  I  suspect the Petronix II (not I) helps a lot with the 
timing/dwell  situation.  E
