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?
