Yes, your temps will run a bit lower if you do mostly highway driving...Not much, but measurable...

no there should not be any improved cooling, only increased cooling capacity.

Welp, maybe my car's weird. Hailers sure thinks so. My stock gauge definetly went down a tick during normal driving after I got all that BS out of the way. Maybe 1/12 of the gauge face, something like that.

Went down even further when I put the new rad in

Bad thermostat. No matter how much cooling you have the engin temp should and needs to stay the same 180 to 200F The thermostat controlls amount of flow to keep at a good operating temp unless your guage is hooked up into the rad fluid and not engin temp
