+1 on the LG Motorsports G2 Supercool radiator. It about doubles your cooling capacity, and with the built in Oil Cooler no worries about your oil temps getting up there either. That Meziere EWP is a very good pump. No issues with mine in over 2 years 10000 miles. With the above mentioned parts you'll see your temps stay in the high 160's for coolant, and high 180's low 190's for oil temps with normal driving. Add in a hot day and some spirited driving you might get your coolant into the 170's, or 180's but no higher unless you get stuck in bumper to bumper traffic after doing some WOT runs. Even then nothing over 195 and thats at the most. Information is accurate provided you have a 160 Tstat and your fans are programmed to come on at 180 and 190 respectively. She does a good job on my N/A 346. Numbers in sig, F/I or bigger cubed engines may see a slight variance. Should solve any high temp coolant/oil temps you might have. Good luck
