    Can you get a different thermostat?
    High temp-192 degreeOriginal equipment temperature.

    Med temp-180 degreeAlternate temperature

    I know what you mean.. it's to a point that you have to put the AC on before you start cookin' inside the car

    I installed a aluminum stock radiator out of an 03 Cobra since they aren't that much money. The fluidyne and steeda are even better, but cost more money. I'd also do a 180 T-stat and have tune adjusted so your fan comes on earlier and keeps the car cooler.

    I put a 180 in my 00. It didnt do anything (in the summer) cause I never got around to chaning when the fan kicked on. The car sold before I could do anything about it. In the fall, the temp would be closer to C than the middle.

    My notch stay nice and cool aways!

    isnt a heat exchanger work with the intercooler? how would it work on a N/A car?

    get a fluidyne, electronic fan controller and a 180 deg thermostat. you should be fine.

    my car NEVER get hot since the fluidyne
