I have zero heat issues -- in fact, the engine runs a little cool in street driving. I've tested the thermostat and used an IR temp gun and it just runs cool, unless it's warm out and you get on it for a while.
Only thing I would do different is open up the intake ports. It runs up to redline just fine, but it's out of breath by 5500. I've fiddled with carb specs but I'm pretty sure it's just that the T ports are a little restrictive. It would be fun to have it really want to scream past 6k. Overall, it's not a hugely different motor than when stock. It's still slow, just with a little more pep than before.

Is this without any additional oil cooler?
