Right, thanks for the info. What did you use to seal your lid?

 

lets see some pics of your sealing job

 

different product, but they both have large masses that sit in front of the radiator:
i had installed my ssra (installed perfectly without problems per step-by-step directions provided) and thought there would be no overheating issues (as everyone suggests because it is plastic while comparing it with the ftra). then, in 40mph traffic on a 90 degree day i noticed the car was shifting a little slow and so i started data logging. the nice coolant temp gauge on the stock cluster indicated everything was great, but data logging showed that tranny fluid temps and engine coolant temps were 220-230 degrees. normally under even worse conditions (slower traffic on hotter days), they stay under 210. due to all the heat, i was also getting a decent amount of knock.

i took it off, but am keeping it for colder weather. based off the map sensor readings, i was seeing something like .15 to .3 psi.

anyone else plug in a scanner and check temperatures?
