stock manifolds and oem thermostat (1 year old). a couple of extra degrees of ign timing in the chip, but it is actually close to stock in the mid range load cells to run 91 octane. A little manifold porting, but BLM's are pretty close to 128 at cruise rpms so I would say the car is effectively stock.

I drove it (hard) down to the cars and coffee meet up spot this morning and the gauge would not exceed 50% so obviously the water flow is functional. I think either I found the limit of the cooling system and all the cars may run hot in this condition, or my system is partially compromised. I will probably pull the rad when I get a chance in the coming weeks. bottom line- it is 22 years old.
