Havent had any issues with water temperature. Are you overheating? Replacing the radiator requires A/C refrigerant recycling and refill. Something to consider when factoring labor costs.

Uprev have a new tweak that your tuner can add to your tune to control your fan to kick in earlier. Might want to check that out also.

Never had a problem with water temp even when doing the LA to Las Vegas run in the summer. High oil temp is the weak link.

I've seen as high as 220ish but never gone past that. I'm sure the fan has already kicked on.

I got it but I still need a bunch of cooling mods, and fix some issues with the car and also need to buy a sport bumper before I install it
Been too busy with college and looking for a beater car to buy
