Thanks, its not perfect, but it does work. The wife seems to think it warms up a bit faster. From her guesses it seems to be maybe 10-20% faster. I haven't driven it enough to get any solid evidence of it though. I was hoping to do some A-B-A testing with the scangauge over Christmas vacation, but I lent my SG out to a friend so thats on hold. I was also hoping there were some aero benefits from the block, again no testing to back it up yet. It may also slighly increase intake air temps too as the pickup is behind the driver's side headlight in the engine bay.
