Been then done that and I highly not recommended on an engine without the SC/Turbo mods. Even mine CL 55 with HPS SC mods, I still didn't like the first 10 mins at start up. Too long of a warm up at start up will cause major wear on the piston rings, carbon build up....etc. And on the night when the out side temperature only get down to around 55F, my engine temp never reach above 80 mark and that a problem for long term reliable issue with piston ring and cylinders wall. But I highly recommend you do the 10 degree cooler mods. Another words, the fan turn on 10 degree cooler. You should compare the 2 thermostat warm up time at start up and see how long it take between the 2 .

so i put it in about 2 hours ago and it is a easy install
but i had 2 add about 1 qt 50/50 mix that spilled out
i tested it out around town 4 about 1 hour. i did lots of 20mph 2 120mph runs when i was moving and some sitting around.I left the car running when i was in 7-11 for about 15mins
after all that the hottest it got was 80c and lower THAT NEVER HAPPEN WHEN I WOULD SLAM ON IT AND SO ON
no cel no long warm up
