Cold will hurt your engine just as fast as heat will so make sure you are in that golden range of 200-250 after a good 1/2 tank of running in normal conditions. I know RB engines like to run a little hotter than others and the trinity ex techs run a little colder. Of course if I could tune as well as I can type my life would be allot simpler
i always tune my motors by ear and performance then check temps
