FMIC coolant/radiator temp thought...
why not install a thermostat that opens at a lower temperature like 71 degrees. These things are available and may alleviate the overheating issues that "may" occur when running a front mount.
Thoughts?
I know that it's due to the fact that the FMIC is blocking the radiator but I wouldn't say it's not getting air. Just not as much air as before.

ya... sorta answered my own question after I posted ... LOL
since the thermostat evidently must be open already as the coolant temps are most probably over 90 degrees. hehe

Can't say its all THAT marginal, people are running twice the hp with
only mild problems with temp control. Don't want to get dragged into a discussion on the fmic though, so leave me out of it.
