fast toys ram air
i got the Coolant temp to 185 and around 80 degree IAT being that it was like 50's here in cali the IAT will drop alot and it did went to 68 degree and held there until the lights came then it went back to a whole 74 degree. I stopped in a parking lot and let it sit with ign off. for about 20 min or so. Turned it back on and the IAT was at 107 degree! April I will see what happens or sometime sooner if we have a really nice hot weekend day! so far an av drop in temp like 3 or 4 degree. I am running a 160 stat and TB bypass. Hopefully that helps

I found the clear wrapper from a pack of cigarettes jammed below my air filter. FTRA sucked it right off the road man. Also, we changed the fan on-off temps with HP tuners. Im running the stock thermostat and it runs a hell of a lot cooler now. A good mod to do.

I don't think you could.
But the entire heatsoak debate is bullshit. I had a thread on here(which was locked because of one immature douche bag) regarding the heatsoak issue. I have a scanmaster in the Z and I took some IAT readings while driving around. I was getting about 3-5* higher IAT reading than the actual outside air temp...that's not really bad
