Angry Runs hotter at higher speeds

Hey guys, I've been having a problem for a lil bit now, figured I'd ask for your advice.:

My TII runs fine in town and never see's temps above 1/4 on the stock gauge. I get on the highway and I'll see temps 1/4 to just above 1/2 sometimes(that's where I letoff, on a top speed run it got a bit hotter before I shut it down). The temp climbs so damn fast too, I could be doing 50km/hr and then peg it to 130 and the temp gauge would be just above 1/2 and would stay there if i didn't slow down.

Could it be my thermostat? FMIC? Need to flush the rad(via fc3s-pro's writeup?). My missing big plastic thing that goes underneith my engine?

your FMIC is making it worse. make sure all your plastic ducting is around the rad. you might need an aftermarket one to go with the FMIC

The big plastic thing under the motor would be a good place to start. You want as much air as possible to go through the rad. Need one? I've got one I'd sell cheap.

I've got the big one laying around. I'm also gonna make a air duct from the bottom of my front bumper to my rad cause I got nothing there reflecting any air(is this normal?).
