Try adjusting your Fan temps through EFI. It worked for me. Plus when winter comes you can turn it back to normal temps if you so happen to take it out on a dry cold day.

That was about as informative as a comic book on world history.

I put a 160 in my T/A and adjusted the fans......didn't notice any real difference. Oh and the temp gauge still reads 200 when at operating temp.
