Please explain what "bad stuff can happen". You can't just say something is bad without backing up your statement. I never heard of race cars going through engines daily.... that sounds rediculous. |

I never heard of race cars going through engines daily.... that sounds rediculous. the joke was on bitter, he failed to read lew's color description of the header wrap, not to lew if that came across your mind. To answer your question, formula atlantic replaces/rebuilds their N/A 4age after each race, because of the high compression and maintaining high revs to power the N/A 4age, it could go boom if things dont get replaced. Here's a link to why i wouldn't put heat wraps on headers, i thought you guys knew about heat wraps already, apparently i was wrong |
