When I picked up my "new" Notch last month, I was really surprised to 
find out how much heat that guy could throw out.
In fact, I had the heater turned really way back so as to not blow me 
out with the heat.

The outside was only around 20-25 degrees F on this cold leg of the 
trip, but I am sure I could have easily had ample heat for much lesser 
outside temps.

Bare in mind, the heat was coming from a 64 Notch with only 16,000 
miles on him, and everything in the Notch is pretty well up to what you 
would expect coming right off the show room floor, as far as operating 
parameters.

Here in Texas, anyway, I think I have the chill factor covered with 
stock BTU output as far as getting what heat I might need from Otto.
