You mean someplace very warm?



But yeah that's the gist - the only variable now is that how much cooling capacity of the radiator is left. Probably can be calculated with some math but I'm going with the stock tune to infer - I added it to the previous post but both fans only turn on at 103C.
I find it very difficult to believe your stock radiator is keeping your coolant so cool that the thermostat isn't even all the way open on the track. Unless you're literally just cruising around at 2000rpm. When there are guys on big aftermarket units who are still over heating. Something is amiss, somewhere. Temp gauge is wrong? You're reading the wrong number. Something
