I drove into the Sandias chasing (successfully) two life birds (Black Rosy-Finch and Brown-Capped Rosy-Finch) today. Didn't have time to set up both front and rear cat temp sensors, but I did observe the temps on a long DFCO. Cat temp dropped from ~1200F to 630F during the DFCO.

p.s. the coolant temps topped 204F climbing the Sandias @~8000' elevation with 3 people in the car, with the upper grill block removed, and ambient temp ~+20F.
