[QUOTE="RichV, post: 1310710, member: 17007"] I don't drive mine in traffic, so hard to compare. On track temps, I will see the occasional 240* on a really hot day 30+ minute race, 220* is normal on my gauge. Running a 195* stat. What I've learned is that these cars are bottom feeders. They need the air deflector under the radiator, I run a modified unit from a 88 Ranger truck. Make sure sides of the radiator are boxed in (OE plastics seem to do fine). The fan is really only for when you are not moving, so I guess the question is do you see the temps up when you're moving? Or stuck in traffic. You should not be seeing over 200* on the highway, cruising, IMO with a 180* stat. Couple of things that help, higher rated pressure cap. Also using an additive like Water Wetter. [/QUOTE]
