Not really. Kill too much time driving over to tims at the airport to get coffee.
Then have to drink it before it gets cold.

didn't see this said... but unless you feel like buying new headers every year.... don't wrap them...

traps in moisture and the like... will cause them to rot like a bastard.

There was a small section of header wrap on my Mustang to protect the clutch cable from header heat.

I since replaced and rerouted the cable away from the header. Then I removed the small section of header wrap. The rest of my headers look good but that one spot looks like crust city.

Just say NO to header wrap.

Where are these guys?

I might just re-tune the car and see if that helps before I start sending parts all over the place. I go my old air cleaner back on so its using the cowl again and seems to be getting better but the hard to start when its hot is a timing issue, I'm just to lazy to spend a day resetting it. To busy getting mad at my sticking choke :P
