    So about a 150~200 degree reduction for you. That's pretty good. Yeah, my temps. are pretty low but with no load/strain on the engine. I imagine they would be like yours had I driven the car. That one much hotter header of mine still bothers me though!

    Would have been nice if we both had measured the clutch "pumpkin" temperature to see what kind of reduction there was there. A cooler clutch is a happier clutch :)

    I didn't even think about that. Is your car F1? Mine is, and seems to have issues on very hot, south carolina and georgia days when I get stuck in stop and go traffic. I only have an issue in the summer and in stop and go; the f1 light beginning to blink and then the trans eventually dropping to neutral on its own. If I turn the car off a few minutes to cool, I can select a gear and be ok as long as the car is moving.

    This summer will be the first summer with the white lightening coating. I'll see what happens. I may end up going further by wrapping the f1 pump in some sort of heat deflection material. May do the same for the f1 sensor area of the trans.

    Mine is a manual. No problems that I've noticed. Having said that, I simply don't drive it on really hot days. Not enjoyable :-(

    I'm sure that the original factory header heat shielding helped reduce engine bay temps. more than ceramic coating would on unshielded headers. However if cats. are removed that quite possibly may result in an overall cooler engine bay. Especially if the test pipes are ceramic coated with White Lightning.

    Sounds like a good idea for your F1 pump and sensor. Don't know the layout on those but if possible, my first choice would always be some type of heat shield rather than heat shield wrapping. Not always possible but I think deflecting the heat before it gets too close to the part and allowing air space around the part via a mounted shield is the way to go.

    I was thinking about something like this:

    http://www.heatshieldproducts.com/heat_shield.php

    supposed to be some good stuff.

    F1 sensor is in the trans, the harness for it enters at the topside of the trans. The more I think, the more it's probably useless to shield that area of the trans, as the trans itself is going to get pretty hot.

    I've used a lot of it. On the airboxes, to supplement the CV joint heat shields, the oil tank heat shield, muffler heat shield etc.
