quick question yesterday my car had ran alittle hot i solved that issue(took air dam off when jacked up car and forgot to put back on) the highest the factory temp gauge went to was the 3/4 before i put the heat on and lowered the temp. should i be worried of any damage. i drove the car today and everything was perfect no smoke etc.

That's true but that's exactly what I'm worried about. I'm worried that even though it did not go past the 3/4 line it was hotter than that. Although the coolant did not boile over and there was no stem. I would hope if the car actually really got to 260 the gauge would go to the red. One thing though as soon as I put on the heat on in seconds it made the temp gauge go down A little.
You'll be fine, I just installed deraile pusher fans in my car and it blew the fuse in stop and go traffic. I didn't notice it until my check gauges light came on, I looked down and it was pegged all the way hot. I pulled over and popped the hood to help it cool and I could hear the coolant boiling inside. Walked to the parts store to get a fuse, changed it out and was on my way with no problems.

Thats the main reason these ram air systems cause a rise in temps, like the FTRA, SSRA Chris, 1313 I noticed a little bump in mine with the FTRA wasnt bad.
