I just got back from a little ride... got on the car a few times, nothing to redline or anything.

When I returned, I popped the hood and felt around the intake. The passenger side was hotter than the drivers for one. The radiator hose is HOT and part of it being under the passenger side airbox might be an area to help cool things off... the tubes going to the intake manifold are also pretty warm. Keep in mind that it's also only 60 degrees out today and very windy... my oil temps never even got to 200 degrees even getting on it.

I think that i'm going to cover pretty much all of the intake areas at some point just to be safe. The boxes weren't hot, but you can feel they are well above ambient temp.
