The air temps were 20F cooler but my head temps were much higher then I have ever seen them.
Coolant temps were a little cooler this time over last time which seems right based on the air temps.
I noticed that the head temp was very responsive to throttle usage.. Much more so then previously.
Next I will try 50/50 green stuff and see how it reacts..

sandblaster:
You should come for a visit...
There is so much more to see and I could use some time off work 8-)
Foxx4Beaver:
I'd probably never leave.
I remember my parents traveled the west coast in 07 I think...and they both decided if they ever sold their house, that the Oregon coast was were they'd live out the rest of their lives.
