LOL!
I'd love to come check out Paradox one of these days but that's not exactly around the corner from me.
Maybe when I go FI, I'll come visit you guys.

would be a good way to test the new pump, eh?

yeah, catch a JetBlue flight to Long beach, and drive to Irvine. You won't regret it.

Guess I need to put a mazmart sticker on my car--i will wear it proudly!
Interesting thing i posted on another thread
coolant and oil temps are almost if not totally synchronized during mid length town/ suburbia driving. that is a real good thing. Used to be about 10-15 degrees difference with oil being a little higher.
Still some normal temp fluctuation but now the oil temps come down when the coolant temps do--didnt used to do that this markedly.
also the car warms up faster---better scrubbing!
Very pleased with this unit. Mazmart did good.
Ok Paul now you will have to buy a bigger hat?! JK dude.

I'll snap his neck.
Mac is helping me put mine in this weekend. Went to the track last weekend for the 1st time. Highest number I saw on the water temps was 211, but it was low 70s F, and since I'm a newb I wasn't driving flat out all the time. But I'm hoping to go back to the same track the end of this month for one more session before the season is over, so hopefully the weather will be similar and I can keep an eye on the temps.
I'm very encouraged to hear olddragger's report about the oil temps coming down - wish I had an oil temp gauge. But to be honest as soon as I heard Mr. Engman thought I should put this pump on I was sold.

Generally, if your ambient temp is below the mid 90°F range and you have any humidity in the air at all, the cooling system will hold its own (keeping you at or below 220°F).
As the temps go up (and the water content drops), the coolant temps go up proportionately.
When its 107°F in the desert (like today), I can see 211°F in the coolant at idle after a few minutes.
