This has since gone away.      I put in a brand new 180* thermostat, upon the first test drive, temp got up to 225-230.  kinda high...  is this because its not tuned yet?  Also, it sounds great but felt underpowered.  this must be because of the tune as well im assuming.  Any pointers here?  Anyone cam a 95 with a similar set up and not get a tune?      Car has a full exhaust, MAC shorties and Pypes all the way back, no cats.  EGR delete, AC delete, smog delete, bigger throttle body, adjustable fuel pressure regulator, MSD cap and rotor, blaster coil etc...  Thanks for all the help!</blockquote>
