Yeah, thanks guys. I'm not trying to turn this into an(other) overheating thread. Even with leaving early and all of that, I'm going to wait until I've done the whole system before going out to play. I don't want to risk it, especially since it's probably a 3ish hour drive to get there.
My plan is to wait until the Mountune rad goes on sale and then buy it, replace it and the thermostat and change the coolant to a 60/40 mix. As soon as I can do that, I'm in for these kinds of meets, even if they're pretty far. It would be great to meet you guys and go for a FiST fun run.
