Gordon, I don't have a front cooler yet but it's in the budget for next year. I figured 300 f sounded a bit warm but was wondering if 230-250 is ok? From all that I've read on this forum I started to have a mild heart attack when I saw the needle approaching 220-230. I actually pulled over, shut it down and opened up the hood to let it cool down.
