Message All readings based on Techtom and the "Before" stats are over a year.

Before:

-Coldest reading after at least 20 min. of driving: 181 at night (many nights below 55 degrees I'm sure).
-Hottest reading after at least 20 min. of driving: 231 during the day in 110 degree weather (probably would have gone higher had I not started coasting downhill for miles).
-Average Temp: 187-191 even after freshly rotted out
-Average Temp on days over 90 degrees: Roughly 205-215 with A/C off. 200 if going downhill with plenty of airflow.

After my custom single core (non-Howe):

-Coldest reading after at least 20 min. of driving: 174 at night 68 degrees (damn hot California lol!)
-Hottest reading after at least 20 min. of driving: 213 with the A/C on for 30 minutes in 108 degree heat with stop and go traffic (normally I wouldn't use it, but I wanted to thrash it to find out!)
-Average Temp: 179-181 degrees during the last 7 California days which have all been over 85 degrees at least. That's with a huge (twice the normal size) tranny cooler in front of the radiator.

Well worth the money I spent on it! I'm SOLD :)
