Tazer magic

Totally normal. You should be hearing your cooling fans blasting during these temps.

No, it doesn't, oil temp has to go much higher for that to kick in

Interesting. Well you did solve it w the Tazer which would be my next suggestion.

Will stop by that bikini expresso after the wash

Guys, how come there are no mankini expressos, I think I will start one to get money for a Challenger SRT. Girls here, please support my business then

I am letting it climb this time, lets see when fan kicks in

It's almost like driving down the highway forces air through the radiator.

Evaporative cooling is a helluva drug.

You might want to at least change the oil after running it with engine temps that high.

Fan kicked half-heartedly at 219 degrees and coolant is going down now, dragging down oil temp with it.

Fan stopped again and now temps will climb again
