:

80C? Are you running the stock radiator and fan combo? I just replaced mine with the upgraded system and still am runnning around 90C (vs. 100-105C). The temp is ok now but just wondering how you are running so "cool". What degree thermostat are you using? 160 deg? 185 deg?

I'm running a 190 Tstat and as far as I can tell that's where it stays all the time. Doing the conversions between C and F with that little gauge is imprecise at best but it never goes all the way to 90C. Stock single fan/radiator and the pushers seem to have had no effect on the temp at all.

Yeah, reving an engine. That's something that I normally don't have a problem with. Seems like someone else had THAT problem!!
