weird lol, in the various tables of HPTuners I think it's like 180-220 is the ideal operating temp for optimal performance

you guys also don't have a HEATON supercharger.......they suck at producing heat, and make temps go way up, that is why i had an intercooler and always some kind of hood scoop..........ion you really need to look for an aftermarket hood or scoops, just something to let some heat out........
you don't realize how much of a difference it makes until you do, and i will never run boost again without it.......

Meth is much needed.

that's got nothing to do with IATs; my trans temps are excellent, my coolant temps always stay within safe limits. all stock stuff.

I dunno how, I parked pretty much away from everyone else and it was pouring down rain so everyone stood around in the pavilion or watched cars fail at "drifting."

Looks good, just needs a suspension alteration BAD. Get the GA mirrors too.

i may go have eibach's put on... i fear for the winter though.. trudging through deep, hardened snow and ice pushing against the front of the kit and pulling off the rear isn't that great
it'll definitely be lowered before ASS, then i'd have time to get a deep snow car before next winter
