Thanks all for your input.

My real goal is to increase heat rejection at the SC to head interface. Any small delta T to reduce heat transfer should help reduce IATs a little bit. I've talked to several shops concerning reducing IATs on a PD setup and they all recommend a lower temp t-stat. Did some measurements last week and found that the heads run about 20- 30* hotter than the SC casing.

We do run ambient temps in the 90-100's in the summer. Gonna give it a try.
