May be an old thread but being as this always comes up
Using a water hose with a nozzle or the like and blowing out all the fins from back to front over and over will really help, condenser too. If you got compressed air to follow up with even better. night and day difference
Factory had its reasons for high running temps but WAY too hot forme
Cooler Tstat and fan switch would be my first mod on these cars everytime theres just no reason to run 230 or more before the fans come on
bakes everything underhood to a crisp over time
