Default MTI 422 question

Can the MTI 422 be driven daily?

Does it overheat in Texas weather?

Like almost all engines, it depends on the build. Almost all the MTI built motors you will hear about online are daily driveable without overheating, and they carry 2 year/24k mile warrenties.

Driven to work about three days out of five every week. Totally tame in traffic, with not even a hint of overheating.

It honestly amazes me that a 500 (errr . . . 495) RWHP car can be driven every day like this. Things have changed a lot since the "old muscle" days of my high school years.

Have to admit, it is fun to punch it in third gear on the highway when weaving in and out of traffic. Have probably made more than a few people **** their pants <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Edit: add sig

I put over 350 miles on my MTI 434ci setup last week driving it back and forth to work. No issues at all, except I'm using more fuel than my previous motor <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

But, thats probably just my foot.

I used to drive mine everyday in all conditions. I'd almost swear it ran cooler than stock. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
