"I just switch out the 160 Even Flo for a 170 Reische and wow what a difference... ...I don't think the hot water test in a pot has any thing to do with how they work in the Mustang as my temps were significantly lower with the Reische 170 then the Even Flo 160.
Even Flo I was seeing ECT temps of 199 all the time and CHT temps of 205-215 actually saw 218 once. Reische 170 so far the highest I saw was ECT temps of 180 mostly 178 during my drive, CHT temps were 185-187 max. Temp outside was 33 today but I have drove the car in snow with temps in the 30's with the 160 T Stat and still saw the temps as described above. The coolant temps were as reported my NGauge and the CHT was reported in the ford Gauges menu."
