Cool, thanks Rob.  From what I've heard those are good
#s to shoot for.  I guess the heat soak thing just
comes with the territory if you want to measure the
temp of all the cylinders from one location.  I
thought about after the turbo, but I'd rather have
false high readings than false low readings.
