I use temp only for reference. I am interested in a grp but all this talk of running the motor at such low temps just doesnt sound right.
Thats good that you tune that way. If you do the same with the GRP, you should find that when you have it running good, the temp will be between 170-190. It's just the way they are. The rid themselves of heat quickly, and run the most consistent temps of any engine I have ran.
