To anyone currently running this kit in 90°F+ temperatures... What kind of coolant temps are you seeing on average or range for normal everyday driving?

I took the 86 out for the first time this past Saturday since installing the v3 SC...I topped out at 215°F coolant temp during a 2.5 mile ride going no more than 40mph. It was like 100° or 101°F that day. I hit 218°F while parked just before pulling into my garage... no air flow.

I have to take the 86 out again and drive during cooler outside temps and see how the 86 reacts. I'm thinking I could have too many coolers sitting on the front deck and impeding air flow to the radiator... hope I'm wrong and it is just the 100° days.

Thanks in advance...
