So I put 600+ miles on the car and the gremlins started to appear. I have a crate motor in the car now, 325hp, 360 tq. Usually runs at 200 degrees. Today it ran at 210-215. I was at higher altitude most of the day, above 4000' as opposed to the norm of 500-1000. Those temp readings are off the original gauge. I don't think the temp change is a big deal but it seemed weird to occur all of the sudden. I did have it on a 1000 mile trip to Ebos and a 2400 mile trip to Maine without incident.

Good point, lots of hard tranny use with the ride. Very curvy road with spirited driving.
