[QUOTE="redneckengineered, post: 538080, member: 503"] Closed loop. Engine was broke in/tuned on a dyno, I'm confident the tune is solid. Steam ports hooked up. Funny thing, before this rebuild they were blocked but I never had any problems. Mast suggested I go to the 160 stat, they've never steered me wrong before. Just wanted to hear some real world experience with it. I got a Lingenfelter one coming from Summit. I'll actually be the first to explain to people going from an old school motor to an LS they need to get used to looking at a temp gauge that hangs out between 200-220. It is where these motors like to be for the most part. I'm ok with that. My issue is by no means a big problem and it hasn't stropped me from riding. I just know I have enough cooling capacity and need to take about 10 degrees out of the overall temps. Like I said, before adding a point of compression and some more HP I'd stay at 205-210 no matter what. If you got it over 220 you better get out and check around because something is wrong. That's how solid it was. That's kind of where I'd like to get back to. [/QUOTE]
