It runs cool 85-90 degrees centigrade in traffic and it runs very smoothly w/o wierd vibrations (other than the monster pounding). I have a single carb and I think only stage one porting and a reasonable compression ratio. I wanted it to be trouble free, easy to just get in and drive, no tinkering and be able to run on 93 octane gas.
I would highly recommend Keith. I would buy another on of his motors in a heart beat.

I would also. Made 18 000 miles with it since it has been installed (May 2005) in my Cobra.
