Basically saying that you have to sustain those temps for along time to damage anything, he told me that they run 1600-1800 degrees on their injector truck, but they only hit those temps for a 1/4 mile.

Luckly I haven't puked the engine yet!!
I pulled about 4 lbs of manifold pressure out; it should actually pick up some more power from that.
