I have used the infrared to determine what my C-H temperature gage was telling me. I hit the water neck leaving the engine right above the thermostat and temp sensor. When the gage is in the middle its running 180°-185° where I like it. If the needle hit the H its up to 200°-210°. Since adjusting timing the temps are behaving much better but if there was one thing I'd like to add is a full shroud which I'll have to fab myself.
