i put a 160 stat in mine, still run hot, when the car got dyno tuned, runs cool all day :coolsmiley:. never changed out rad or nothing else, got to get the fans to cut on earlier

like 190-200 area..

That is nowhere near "really hot." Your car runs fine.

do you have a stock temp gauge? if so there really is no acurate way of knowing. invest in some autometers and dont go by the dash junk. anyone on here will tell you the same

What he said :thumb:

 

[1quk50]

ok ill look into that..

 

[Paul]

Wait, if you don't already have a "real gauge" then how do you know it's running 190-200???

 

[1quk50]

210 is as hot as it gets right?

well it runs right above that... so i edumacated guessed....

 

[Paul]

No, 210 is normal operating temperature. So you based your temperature on the N O R M A L gauge? Hell, yesterday on the drive home (in Phoenix) the temperature outside was 113* and my car was running 218*.
