Trey-
My car runs warmer than similiar cars.

Running a lowered car, with WW front clip. Longer front air dam, 160 stat, lowerfan temps, electric h20. Normally runs 180* ish on hot days stop and go traffic. Car is full bolt ons, plus good size cam.

Stock cooling system besides the electric H20 pump. It does seem to run a little warmer than last year when I had my head/cam A4 but I still had the GFX. Right now it runs ~200 on hot days and stop and go traffic and ~180 on cool days.

I read into this some and the general consensus was that you wanted the oil to achieve atleast 200*, some said 220 to make max power. I cant dispute or confirm that....
