That was the first and last time I took that to the track. I now use my comp heat....works much better.
if I am in a rush and need to heat up an engine for break in then yes a gun is better just use something like a small gringing disc placed in front of the engine this acts as a heat shield from your air filter etc and angle your gun around the back and around the down the cooling head working in a slow cicular motion not on one area for a long period of time and that could be only a few seconds especially when the heat gun is putting out up to 500deg celcius. my 12v comp heater definately does its job well when I am at the track
hope to grab another soon running buggy and truggy
