Just a Little Header Temp Video!

I haven't seen this before, and I know that people are always curious about header temps, so I made a little video. I used a Seek Thermal camera on my phone and recorded from startup until the camera locked up and wouldn't record anymore
I found it interesting how quickly they heated up, but, they seemed to stabilize at around 500 degrees (F). Those temps would obviously go up during driving, but this was just at idle with an ambient air temp of around 82*.
You'll hear a whistle, don't mind that, I was checking fuel pressure for tuning.

It you think regular cars are hot ,You should check out supercharged cars and just how hot they get when under boost.

Oh yeah, I know that they're temps get crazy. I just wanted to see what a pretty much stock LT1 was like. This was done before the tune, and it was running pig rich, so I think temps may have been a little low. I'm curious to see what they're like after the tune.
