I have the even~flo and not impressed with the temps it holds during normal driving, but I've noticed when I get on it in a spirited fashion, the CHT will drop down to the 190 range. Normal driving I avg 200-210 (as high as 220 sometimes). Will eventually switch to the Reische 170 thermy.

Drat, apparently I missed the memo that said the Evenflo was junk - I've had one laying on the bench for months waiting for installation.

:doh: :doh: :doh:

My temps avg 199-210 with stock thermo and lund tune with the fan on constantly.

I made the switch from the 160 - 170....would do again

Any here tried/uses mishimoto's CHILL synthetic engine coolant?

My car runs at 190 driving around and 199 if I am ripping on it with the blower.

what are your IAT's with the blower?

"my car" == ?? what setup?

When you say 'my car', what radiator, thermostat, rad fans, IC, IC fans, etc are you running?

I am seeing peak 225F CHT after several highway pulls then exiting and getting caught at several lights. Thinking about completely removing the thermostat with that kinda peak as an unseated head gasket would be sooooo painful.
Setup is Whipple with Whipple 160F marked Motorad (junk?) thermostat.

Highway cruising is 200F ish.

Non PP radiator.

Ordered 03/08
Reische 170 from =>LETHAL<=
and
PP rad from =>LEVITOWN<= thanks LEVITOWN!

So if I am hoping this combo will help with heat.
Airflow out from under hood is pitiful. Need massive banks of slots or openings immediately after rad to get airflow up.

You will definitely see a drop in temps with that.

I have a 2016 GT PP car and I have seen CHT temps as high as 227 sitting in traffic. As stated befor in this thread it really doesn't matter what the outside temp is. During normal driving CTH is around 200-205... Hardly ever under 200. The car is stock 6MT with a catback exhaust only. Any recommendations to lower? Should I check for a bubble?

If you haven't messed with your car why would you have a bubble, mine is stock no tune nothing, GT pp CHT always around 200, must be normal temp

Hi guys. My temps are also 200+. All stock. Also, what are the normal tranny temps? Ive seen mine go up to 225. Dont think thats normal. Then Ill have a cel come on for a few hours then go away once the temps go back down.

Yea I was thinking the same thing until I started reading posts on here and seeing that most guys are not experiencing cht temps as high as mine. I'm not that worried about it since it is stock but I do plan on making some mods soon so I guess I'll just keep an eye on the before and after temps. Thanks for the quick replies!!
