My car is a head and cam car too. Yesterday it was 97 degrees in NY, my car was running for about an hour. It got up to 210 degrees, my mechanic told me that that was where you want the temp to be. He also sugested removing the plastic shroud in front of the radiator and hollowing out the nostrils to get more air.

AND I COMPLETLY AGREE WITH YOU ON THE PONT THat modding the intake path will lower iat temps but it will do virtually nothing to the temp of the coolant as the intake is not what so ever involved with the cooling system.. this was my point.. its kinda like saying lower your tire pressure or replace your brakes yea it may be a good idea depending on your situation but it has nothing to fo with engine temps
furthermore by cutting the radiator shroud you are actually redirecting air away from the radiator this will undoubtly increase coolant temps..

I strongly reccommend deleting the rain guards they serve no purpose. I have been in countless turential down pours and never had a problem highway driving or in town
