[QUOTE="Roots-type, post: 10159895, member: 72150"] No. It should not be used like that. You might get away with it like that in cold air, especially on the highway with air being pressed into the radiator, but when you are sitting still it's all up to the fan and it's not going to work well. Even in cold temperatures. You need to keep in mind some things about the Mach 1 rods and pistons: The pistons will work well under realistic boost levels (10psi and below). Cast and hypers melt at nearly the same temp as forged. BUT, they dont hold up to detonation like forged will. A motor being improperly cooled, and on top of that taking in hot air temps (open hole in your heat shield) is no bueno. Our stock rods will not last long under detonation like forged will, either. In a nutshell, if you are going to play with fire, you should do things exactly right. You don't have room for error like terminators do. I would suggest pulling the plugs in he driver's side bank and have a look. A leak down test would also be a inexpensive/smart idea. [/QUOTE]
