There are also Several Different Types of Impellers, Coolant Additives that can reduce your Temp by 10-15 Degrees in most cases....Also,,,,Instead of Relying on an idiot light...Invest in a Thermo Gauge or one of those heat guns to get a Proper reading...If you idiot light comes on its almost too late....

OOH...MWKE, temp gun is a fantastic idea! I never thought of that. Auto Mechanics use that all the time. What type of additive would you recommend to add in the antifreeze? Specific brand? Thanks!

I use WATER WETTER.....And Swear By it....Most of the Racers, around here anyway,,,,Just use Straight Water....Antifreeze doesnt Do anything to Reduce the Heat....Only keeps it from Freezing....But I run Coolant and Water Wetter.....
