>I agree with David.  Engines like to run hot.

Well, yes, left to it's own devices (i.e. sans cooling system) an engine 
will run hot to the point of meltdown.  An engine in
this condition, however, doesn't produce much power, or efficiency.  :)

Hmmm.
How many of you listers put lower temp thermostats/fan switches in your car 
to give your radiator a margin of safety?


Okay.  Now, how many of you did that for the purpose of increasing power?



Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....
