2. does coating headers work well for keeping exhaust heat in the pipes without causing the failures that header wrap does? ive searched on this and most people are more concerned with how well it keeps underhood temps down; i dont care about its ability to dissipate heat, i want to keep the expanding heat in the exhaust. |
1. That's interesting. I want to personally try it and see what happens. I personally like natural aspiration and have been working on NA cars for years...and now I have an idea for my next project.
2. I personally don't care that much. I just run whatever and I know my fans do their job, and the exhaust gets out enough. I believe more in the driver and suspension than making the motor some "made by God" every-pony-taken-out kinda deal. I usually tell my tuner to make impressive, RELIABLE numbers.
