[QUOTE="Jrgunn5150, post: 197676, member: 9682"] The reason for it not mixing would seem to be your thermostat not opening... The only thing I can think of, and I have had bad one's out of the box before if you just recently changed it. above 225-ish would be too hot, and I would even try to sustain it there for long. Even after a swap, you shouldn't get that hot and climbing.. For a decent upgrade, I used a Cobra pump, suposedly a better cooling unit, honestly couldn't tell you. It works, didn't seem to lower temps or anything though. Are you running premium gas in it? Another thing I am thinking of, maybe it is slightly pinging/knocking and you can't hear it. This would cause it to build quite a bit of heat. [/QUOTE]
