Default Overheating Problems in Hot Weather with FMIC?
Hey guys,

I'm moving to Las Vegas. I have an Ultimate Racing kit with FMIC and Koyo radiator and oil cooler. My water temps run around 175-180 (up to 185 in bad traffic) here in Buffalo when the weather is warm at 85F. I am curious as to whether anyone who lives in warmer weather has problems with overheating. I obviously want the AC in Vegas.

Thanks in advance
HVD

Thanks. Can't wait to get out there. I'm pretty sure I'll be fine, but just wanted some advice from you guys.

Excellent. I've got 530whp right now. I need to retune for 91 octane since we have 93 out here, but things are looking good.

Cooler Tstat? You mean thermostat? Don't think I have one. How would I adjust that?

fan switch is easy to install, the theromstat on the other hand was a pita!
