Give me a shout if you have any questions.

When you say steam ports your talking about the cross over pipe on the front of the heads and the solid block on the back corners of each head correct? What do I need to do there get a front crossover and put it on the back also? Some how T it in?

Brek,

Straight methanol will greater cool IATs than a water/meth mix.
