The boss (Bear4333) and I have had a running discussion about the heat in the BBC we're running . . I've always labored under the conception (or misconception) that Chevy's (both kinds) like to be "Toasty' up on the starting line . . somewhere between 180° and 195° . . The Boss disagrees and backs his 160-170° argument with quotes from Reher-Morrison and others . . not to mention, results . .
I'm beginning to believe that he's not only right but it should be almost dead cold (110°) when you start it in the lanes . . And that goes for the Transgression too . . The converter seems to be a lot happier with cold fluid than when it's around 160-175° . . Leaves harder, more consistent and goes quicker . . (1.38 sixty fts,

Is a "Warm Up" just wasting 116 octane? Discussion?
