Can you tell us what your readings are now? How long does it take for the temp gauge to start moving and how high is it going.

Like I was telling before, my lighting is powered through the dimmer control circuit so it follows the dash light brightness. My kit came with red and green tints for the bulbs. I used the green and it shines a rich pastel light up on my a-pillar. How do you like yours?

the light that came in the gauge is kinda useless. you cannot see any difference unless its dark out. its alright i suppose. It is hooked up to the dimmer like yours is. I took a little stroll around my neighborhood and down the main road. It just reached 100 when i pulled in the driveway. I will have better readings when i really go out for a drive.

went for a good long cruise.. stop and go.. spirited driving.. hilly area. The highest the gauge read was a little over 160 maybe 165-170 and that was going up a biiiiggggg hill. other then that it remained around 150ish. it doesnt take too long for the gauge to start moving really.. but its very gradual

Then your cooler is working well. Mine has hit 200 degrees after a blast of nitrous but I'm reading on the hot line. It would be interesting to see what I have after the cooler. I'm glad you're all hooked up; congratulations.

200 degrees on the hotline with nitrous is pretty good in my opinion. I havent given it a good WOT test yet but my tires failed inspection so this week will be a blast. I also have a torque converter which could contribute to higher temperatures but apparently the cooler is working nicely
