Dont waste money, time and energy with small wattage heaters.
A larger heater will get the engine warmer, faster and to a higher temperature.
Smaller heaters just slowly waste energy by bleeding heat off into the surrounding environment, never getting the engine up to a more usable temperature.
If you click on my fast warm up ideas link on the last page I updated the idea with actual tests using a 3700w engine heater setup. That heater set up got the engine warmer, faster and used less energy than a single heater element setup.
