Hi,

I'm not surprised that you didn't see a change on the temp gauge. There are only graduations at 180° and 235°, so a 5°-10° difference would be nearly impossible to detect with no reference marks (and who says the gauge is linear?). But, I'm sure that with increased airflow, temp decreased, that's how it works...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
