Temp Gun: 98F.

Current ambient Temp: 78F

Drove it around for about 45 minutes. All conditions, highway, suburban, sitting in traffic on Clemson Road. Engine temps are at their max as for any given day. So, Mr. Funola was correct in that the pump does pick up some radiant heat off the engine, however, no where near the 150F.

HOWEVER, I think this is a GREAT catch by Mr. Funola. I will get the Thermo-Tec matt and cover the bottom and both sides. A 12x12 section is around $12 bucks shipped. Any heat blocked is a good thing.
