Wouldn't the increased fuel charge tend to cool it down?..I was under the
impression that a lean charge would run hotter. But then, I guess this is not
really a case of rich or lean...
In addition, wouldnt the increased fuel require an increase in air
intake?...How much can a stock unit flow? Then of course, more in means more
out, so I guess exhaust gotta come in to it as well...nothing like a simple
bolt on, eh?
