Heat soak, what to expect

kenchan · 06-22-2012, 12:52 PM

no. i would start letting off past 240.

Pauly · 06-22-2012, 12:59 PM

are oil temps staying just a bit cooler with a/c on? or is it just my imagination...

kenchan · 06-22-2012, 01:05 PM

hummm... usually when a car over heats you'd turn the heater onto full blast.

Pauly · 06-22-2012, 01:10 PM

ha, shows what i know? maybe i was just driving a bit easier at the time. i see your point. no way im blasting the heat though, oh man!

kenchan · 06-22-2012, 01:14 PM

ive heard about the a/c thing, but not sure how effective that really is.

i must be getting old cause i dont mind the a/c. i rather have comfort than more hot air hitting my face faster with the window down.

The bonus power with a/c off is nice, but I really just want to hear it

and the scalding Texas summer breeze is apparently worth it

same here. heh, the irony... turn on a/c (lose power) to avoid the issue of "losing power" from slightly higher temps. rofl

Living in this hell hole called tx. And having had traditional CAI's on most of my cars. And 4 cars owned in Tx. The best prevention for hotter air from entering the intakes in the summer are the intake hoses. Your car takes a lot longer to bog down than with classic intakes. Power is a little less but more linear when paired with high quality filters like K&N.
