Report back any improvement in cooling?

Thanks. Honestly with my Mishimoto radiator my cooling system worked so darn well the way it was that I wouldn't see the improvement, even on a 100 degree day with the AC on the coolant temp sits right at the thermostat's temp of 182-186 degrees like it does in the winter. Without a thermostat, my cooling system would actually overcool the engine down to about 160 degrees even driving down the highway using the AC on a 100 degree day, which is darn good IMO.

I suppose once I finish my fan shroud, install ducting, and reinstall the bumper cover I will pull the thermostat out again and see if the cooling system could cool the engine even more after these mods, I think it will. Did you notice a cooling improvement when you did this?
