    Hey guys i have a topswapped gt that runs great but i live in arizona have a 180 degree thermostat and am tuned for it. But during summer heat my temps have been getting up to the very top of the temp gauge right before red. Im wondering if this is normal or if maybe i need to upgrade from the stock gt radiator to a 1 inch gtp raidiator.

    check your temps via the obd port, the dash gauge is not all that accurate.

    as long as the fans are on you should be ok still.

    im running a na rad in my gs. its bottom swapped. my temps are the same as with the old rad. and i still run a 195 t stat.
