"At peak efficiency, only about 30 percent of your fuel’s energy is used to create reciprocating power. The remaining 70 percent of the fuel’s potential energy escapes through the tailpipe or is converted into heat that’s absorbed by the cooling system."
So, if more fuel is necessary for more power, and thus more wasted "potential energy" is escaping into the system, how does it generate the same temps "if properly tuned"?

I'm not turbocharging a 12.5:1 compression, I'm not doing it on stock internals, I'm not doing it without an intercooler and I'm not running 87 octane. But you can be sure that any time I am in the market for parts, I'll talk to and ultimately buy from someone who can listen to what I'm saying.

Cool. But I'll be honest, I'm always going to tell a customer what's necessary, whether or not they like it.
