Just got some bling blang for my .30, not as nice looking as the ACNCM heads but they don't make one for the collari yet.....

Twice as many fins and much more shiny

We'll see if it keeps it any cooler this weekend.
 
I ran one tank today for testing and the Nova head did it's job, a little too well. Temps got up to 200 degrees and that is with the HSN 1.5 turns tighter than I normally run. Got a little too late for the neighbors so I'll see if I get the same results tommorow.

be carefull you dont lean it out too much with that head. remember temps arent as important as good smoke and power. too many people have killed engines with oversized heads because they think it can be leaned out to run at the same temp it was with the stock head. with that head i would expect to see temps between 170-190*.
 
That's something I was definitely worried about, it may work too well?!?! At my normal needle settings the temps were in the 160s, so at half tank I started to lean her out. 1.5 turns later I was quite surprised to see her running at only 200 with enough to smoke to make me feel comfortable. I haven't messed with LSN though so that may change tommorow, my bottom end is way too rich.
 
well its good that your aware of the potential problem. be sure to get us some more vids when its retuned.
