Todd,

If I were to maintain 3K RPM on 90 degree weather I would never go above 205 degrees. Anywhere above 4K is where it creeps up. At this point in the year even at 5K RPM I am not going to heat up above 200 or 205. I think my radiator is oversized well shielded and a good portion of the air being sucked through goes out the back of the lid before entering the engine. Plenty still get into the engine area but it does help to have the cut out at the back to allow plenty to fall out the back. I will have to take some fall cruises to see where I am now with temp/rpm and speed. The car has been quite a sunday driver so I need to see where the open road sends the temp gauge. I will try it again this week and post some better results. If anyone has an extra - not used - wrx scoop (4" tall) please chime in!
