If any of you guys have done this, did you find it worth your while? David BC White '96 Mystique GS ATX - A work in progress! White '88 Cherokee - still going places!

On the subject of heat, where on your temp. gauge does your needle sit when at top temp. and what thermostat are you running? I am considering a 180F, however it's not a Ford part and has no air bleed. Any input? Can you reprogram the cooling fan to cut in sooner?
