I just do not think 150 degrees is warm enough. All the engine guru's I have spoken with say atleast 200 degrees.

There is other advantages to the Comp Heat that I do not see possible with the Sure Start. The cover is insulated and it is awesome for the break in bench. How well does this other heater work when the engine is running? Again, it looks to easy to break if it is droped. And there are several mechanical parts that could break.

The technology in Eric's heater is what all the 1-1 scale teams use, nobody uses a blow dryer. It also has a insulated cover that will keep the motor warm once un-plugged for the trip to the drivers stand.

I do not want to start an arguement here at all!!!!!!, that is not my intention. But I just see to many problems with the Sure Start.

I just think if you could try the Comp Heater, you would never consider anything else. You guys have some great cars and equipment. One BCE chassis is the cost of the heater, and the heater will last for years. So skip a BCE once and you have a free heater

Good Luck with however you go.
