I have changed everything and explained everything only to be told reading 18 pages of bullshit JOKE! Thanks everyone for the positive input
I am going to change the temp sender and add a scoop dumping cold air over the exhaust manifold
Around post #34 you noted the water level in the radiator was going down, which tells me there is a leak in the rad cap/ overflow system. If the cooling system can't hold pressure the coolant will boil at 100*c. Are you still losing coolant? ...When you remove the rad cap when the engine is cold the water level must be level to the brim.

So, how much "HP" did you actually gain...?

And yet it's still not effective, this means you haven't fixed it yet, modding it won't fix it, may simply hide the issue at best.....

My butt dyno usually lets rip
Guesstimate says around 15km/h
Usually at the the most inappropriate time
