I made sure the builder understood the temp issues and the cramped space. I have a Mezeire hgh flow electric water pump. With a 160 t-stat and holes drilled in it. The car has been running so cool that I am considering moving up to a 170. On the highway with no fan on I run at 160-170, in trafiic I move to 180 with the fan on and it does not go up from there. In the dead heat of the summer the hotest I saw was 200 in bumper to bumper traffic for about 30min.

I have been thinking about going with the Mezeire electric pump. Does it work okay on the street?
