Re: Heat issues

Running the motor too cool does effect fuel burning and efficiency. In fact, you'll notice a lot of late 70s and 80s cars run normal temps over 200 degrees, it was a cheap trick to clean up emissions that did not effect performance. Not over heating, my 3.1L V6 Firebird ran 220-230 if I remember right.
