I bypassed the radiotor and it works great. I am in Florida where it gets damn hot in the summer. I am seeing tems of 172 constantly. That is with EFI live reading the temps not from my temp guage.

I bypassed the radiator. I also run a huge Perma Cool cooler with a fan.

My stock radiator started leaking coolant into my tranny fluid and toasted a Pro-Built trans and Edge converter. Food for thought.
