It looked very good. Never had the water heated up or anything. I check the reservoir after i run it hard and stays very cool. I am going to strip off the paint and respray it so it wont chip. Just need fo find the time.
be careful not to sacrifice oil temps, the bigger the heat exchanger less air hits the oil cooler.
Yeah i keep an eye on it, being on E85 helps with it too. But they rarely go past the mid-line even when driven hard. The only time it goes up is when its just sitting idle intraffic or something.
