3.3.runs Hot When I Add A Stinger Tip??

[BTA2997]

I ripped an exhaust coupler for my 3.3 maxx and got a revo spec coupler for it. It came with a exhaust tip that goes on the end of the pipe to aid in keeping burnt fuel and oil off the truck. I put it on and the truck ran hot, it ran a little better but ran hot. I wanted to know if anyone else has had the same thing happen to them and what you did about it. If anyone has any info on the matter please let me know.



P.S. THE RBINNOVATIONS HEAT EXCHANGER HEAD IS GARBAGE IT MADE MY TRUCK RUN HOTTER THAN THE STOCK HEAD!!!!

Yea i richin the carb and it cools down, but was wanting to know if anyone else has had to do the same

you were prolly running it too lean, not enouugh oil and nitro to cool it :)

I have the truck running in between 230-240 with out stinger, with it 277-285. With out the stinger it runs great, never over heats, and when I add it the temp goes up 40 degrees. I richened the carb and it cools off I just wanted to know if anyone else had had the same thing happen to them. I am asking because I ran that %*#@ rbinnovations heat exchanger head witch in turn made the 3.3 run hot and determining if I didn't damage the engine.
