been a busy day and I haven't had any chance to take pictures yet of my setup, i work two jobs and just got into the house for the day (started at 630 this morning). I'll try to get one tomorrow.

guessing part of the issue with my heat buildup is this being a new engine, its very tight and creating a lot of heat once the T-stat does open, seems to be running around 210-215 on the highway. I have a 180 T-stat coming from Rock Auto which I think may help somewhat, should open it before the temp starts soaring (thats my hope).
