True, it takes a couple minutes to warm up, but using the block heater helps shorten that. Before the cold snap, I would see it warm up in about 3-4 minutes. The engine heats up a bit quicker since I put the under drive on it... I may still try putting a surround on one of the cats and pulling air from around that, if I get some free time. Not sure I'll get a 30*+ temp rise from that though.
