another thing im a little concerned with is possible damage to the guage from the heat pumping directly onto the guage after an extended period of time. but then again being in the window on hot summer days has to be hotter then the defrost heat

When using Methanol, the mixture gets richer, when using Methanol with Nitromethane included you can get closer to an optimal A/F ratio.
The smell also reminds me of the Gator nationals......
You can get Methanol RC car/plane/boat fuel in 5%, 10%, 15%, ... all the way to 70% Nitromethane.
Denny, come on, try it; all the Funny cars are doing it.....
10 or 15% Nitro mixed with Boost-Juice can't hurt.

UH UH I got enough power! Old men get scared easy--seems like you are going faster when you wear bifocals
I also know how easy it is for this engine to have detonation and I am VERY cautious about that.
However , i am glad you are willing to go to were no one has gone before--thats how we all learn.
You are right I do enjoy that small --I used to race those little R/C cars --they are a blast.

so i finally have my gauges remounted into the RB ashtray pod- boost water temp and intake air temp, then i have the wideband in the custom defrost vent single pod. i plan on wiring them up and installing them tomorrow..wish me luck.. question denny, how accurate is this air temp gauge? i may be mistaking but i would think that the intake air temp would be something that fluctuates temperature quite quickly, am i correct in assuming that? and from the sealed up look of this sender unit i cant see it detecting fast changes in temp...

this is where if you want to learn you need to search..
i would do a search under olddragger and 180. that should get you there..
btw, what you find is not plug and play. but it is smart!
but he cant post photos so what does he know!
or look in the diy section..

the thread that the thremostat info is in is the owners thread which is now 140 pgs long,,, Nick are you gonna track the car??? cuz us northern guys probably will never see the temps that Denny and Juan are goin through, well at least not as long stints like they do,,, denny consistantly tracks his car and is always looking for that extra edge,,,,
PS- T-11 days til my install,,,,,
Nick -- talked to Moon last night he's gonna be up here for three weeks, you should meet him he can go over everything with ya, he's the one whom co-developed the kit....
