Temperature of engine bay
#6
That's what I thought, I used some electrical tape to secure some electrical items (obviously) and after my first ride, open the hood, and the tape was not in too good of shape due to the heat.

I have a remote thermometer that I monitor, especially at the track, although an OBDII reader will give the same basic reading through the intake sensor monitor.
It varies constantly of course but I compare it to the outside temp reading so i know just how hot its getting in there.
Last sunday at the track it was in the 70-80 deg range just after closing the hood but within about 2 or 3 mins it would go up to the 115 deg range and higher, thats on a cool day outside so you can image what it would be like in stop and go traffic on a hot day.

Thanks for the info. I just realized the Krazy Glue may be subjected to significanly higher temps because it's between my NC switch and metal L bracket (DR mod) which is bolted to the manifold. Metal on metal contact results in good thermal conduction so it's probably a good bit warmer. Mod held up though and I drove over 120 miles today (mostly highway). On a side note, I floored it while the car was in third and discovered the DR mod makes the 3-4 shift noticeably harder too. Woohoo!
