Stock Intake with Clifford Headers

Yes,the headers will heat up the bottom of the intake/carb.
The problem is,it will continue to heat up.Add hot summer temps,and
you can run into carb/fuel percolation issues.
That's where a water heated/cooled intake comes into play.
First it heats the intake/carb for better fuel atomization.
Then it keeps it at engine coolant temp.
Best of both worlds.
