congrats Devon! Glad to hear you got some runs on the new combo done, and I see I'll need the juice to even stay in front of you N/A! 
Good luck getting her dialed in and into the 10s on the motor, which based on the mph should happen.

It's not overheating or anything, but it's just higher than it used to be and it's startin to bug me, don't want to ruin anything, ya know! So what do you think, do I need to set the fans lower, should I take the t-stat out, is it fine where it's running? Let me know what ya think, thanks dude!
First off congs on the new times. With the 90/90 combo, some better weather, and a real track 10.8 and 125+ MPH are in your future.
Next try changing the fan temps 5-10 degrees. The 99 and up oil guage is lame and is really only accurate if your overheating.
It might just read higher because of the heat outside.
If the fans dont help just chalk it up as a POS design by GM.
Sounds like your gonna have a fun setup NA and on Juice.
Let us know when you go to Bradenton maye we can have a TEA vs TEA match.
C ya man.
