The IATs sit between 100 - 110* from what I have seen. Using higher octane fuel is recommended with the mods I have, and I don't mind spending a couple extra dollars per tank. I realized last night that the place I get gas from, his 89 is the same price as other's 93. So I will be switching locations.

the kia is gone now don't be a fool like I was...

Ugh! I was hoping that I could get around taking grill block out. It is only a problem in city driving, and I avoid that kind of driving as much as possible. Timing lights is crucial to me! The high fan switch I'm working on should help me in the city.
