[QUOTE="noldevin, post: 15554440, member: 166003"] Changing the thermostat does nothing for cooling. It only changes the minimum temperature, not the max. If your cooling system is already at max capacity, you need a better radiator, not a thermostat. Also, changing the thermostat requires a tune change to correct when the fans kick in. You can try a more open grille or removing the grille fog lights, that usually helps quite a bit with cooling once you're moving. That being said, that's pretty high for a cylinder head temp, I don't even see that on the road course. Before you throw parts at it, I'd make sure your coolant is bled properly and has no air in the lines, cap isn't leaking, etc. [/QUOTE]
