Manifold heat cross over physics and benifits

im not sure what you guys are smoking but slants get more heat... you seem to think that a 200* engine is warmer than 550*-1000* exhaust temps?

and besides that heat rises, even with my headers (before coating), my hood vents, and just putting around/or 1/4 passes i cant even touch my carb sitting on a 2" phenolic spacer! so this BS needs to stop with a slant having a hard time keeping the intake warm...

i ran mine with it hooked up to the manifold and it ran like crap, over heated, hard starting, usual HEAT issues...
