off subject: i like the rims !^^^^
What kind intercoolers are you guys running when your getting these temps? fmic smic vmic other? I was just wondering how much of a difference in engine temp an intercooler would make because of blocked air?

I always thought that when the ac is on, it produces heat...... Stand near a car when the ac is on..... You will just break into a sweat...... Plus, doesn't the engine have to work harder when the ac is on to push the ac compressor..... Thus..... creating more heat.

You just run the A/C when you're in bumper-to-bumper traffic and your water temps. shoot up - not all the time!

FWIW I have seen 110C in the past with fewer than all of the above mods. I do at 110 because I have the PFC set to retard timing 6deg at 110 to save the motor. No point pushing harder if the car is down on power, so I lift. Normal everyday street driving temps are typically rock steady at about 90 and rearly exceed 95 no matter how I drive. In the winter (0-10C) if I have the drilled Tstat in the car will NEVER get up to temp.
HTH,

Agree with Crispy. My temps are a bit lower due to lower ambient temps in the NW and no AC condensor. Would also add:
22) Front spoiler or splitter - use and 99 spec or R1, i.e., not the base FD spoiler. Help direct air under the car and into the rad inlet.

Going back to what one person said about the copper radiator, RonKMiller (Where the hell is he?) had done a write up about the avantages of a copper unit over other's.
