Missed this thread....

Key concept that Paul kind of hit but I think should be reinforced:

IF YOU HAVE AN AODE WITH THE STOCK IN-RADIATOR TRANNY COOLER, DO *NOT* DRIVE THE CAR IF IT'S OVERHEATING!!

Real fast way to destroy your transmission. The stock "cooler" actually superheats the transmission fluid when the car overheats...not a good thing.

Okay, back to the current issue: Is the car still down on power? I hate to sound like a broken record on these threads, but have you cleaned your MAF recently?

the exhaust leak was causing the heat to leak up into the engine compartment causing it to overheat. I replaced the cats, with offroad x pipe and put my flowmasters back on and now everything is good again
