Its only 93° today, but tests show a couple of degrees lower for the same temps! I didn't expect a huge difference as the lower section really has the majority of the cooling, but, each bit helps...

Idle temps are much improved overall (with all the air dams) and on these hot days, temps get no higher than 206° while sitting before the fans kick on. Overall, very happy with the changes.

While driving, coolant temps got down to 179° -- this is @ 93°! So, I'd say that's working. The Trans temps got down to 154° so, not shabby -- IAT2 temps stayed about the same (its the first cooler after both the oil and trans coolers -- so I didn't expect much change).

I could put air dams over the lower HX's, but @ this point, I"ll wait and see if its necessary.

Flex Fuel sensor is working fantastic -- 73% with latest fill-up! FlowTie doing its job, and RPM belt -- no issues there....

Now, waiting on EFI Live so I can take care of the EGR readiness monitor...
