We did not just let it just idle for the fun of it. Run for 2 to 3 minutes, make an adjustment then shut it down as it down. The distributor is a Bubba Chevy conversion.

Heat rejection is a function of flow rate. Faster the flow within reason, the more heat rejected. Too fast is an old wive's tale that refuses to die.
