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?

I did think I noticed an improvement. My temps were better and I needed my fan less often. But it was not an objective test. Just my sense on my daily commute, which I have done the same way in the same car, on the same route all week for 11 years now. I felt confident it was a good mod.
A half inch between the radiators sounds right to me, btw.
