Heck, I'm thinking about building my next SB with Inconel exhaust valves - Teflon tape located about 10 inches downstream from Inconel valves would be pretty interesting. (Actually, these valves are designed to take a lot of heat, they find their application in turbo cars, @ $44 a pop they sure ain't cheap).

That might also back up O2 sensors as the problem with my hesitation.. When it's cooler out in the morning and I go for a drive, the car runs great.. When it starts to warm up, and it gets hotter out, the car starts bucking like a bronco out of hell...
