You are getting those temps on a NA?

Man, I thought the turbos and manifolds were causing additional heat but if NA's get that hot its all based on the underhood ventilation or lack there of.

Simple unless you are moving with enough speed more heat is generated than is released. I wish some people with aftermarket vented or forced induction hoods would chime in.
