Re: [DML] Air intake performance



I hear what you're saying. I'm just recounting what others have said 
to me. For instance, Bill Robertson seemed to think his engine was 
hot, but I was near it right after he arrived, and I didn't think so. 
He'll correct me if I'm wrong I'm sure...;)

I've only heard about this "other" radiator in passing. What's it 
made out of? Who sells it and what does it cost? I have been educated 
with regards to the importance of bleeding the cooling system, and I 
plan on buying a constant bleed kit from a vendor. I don't understand 
your reference to bleeding the system from inside the car however, or 
do you just mean to say that your system is always bled?
