Really have to watch the AIT at the manifold, it goes up really fast even if you're messing around. After the car is warmed up (heatsoaked), it can go up 30 degrees during quick 2nd gear pull.

I can see why people are blowing motors during drag races. Too much heat causes detonation. Can't really push it when it's hot outside otherwise you're asking for trouble. If you don't have a vented hood, sitting idle or just turning off the engine will bring the AIT's up beyond the heatsoaked temp. I am seeing around 140 degrees when the car is warmed up. Oil at 180 and trans at 180.

Need to vent the hood or upgrade the heat exchanger.
