i disagree BT!
the thermo will open wide at the given temp, plus or minus a few degrees. If its a cold day, it'll close down to restrict flow to maintain that temp.
if your rad isnt workign properly orits really hot weatherit will open wide and have no bearing on the temp at all.
badazz it might be worth trying a different gauge. you didnt say if you had teh rad cored or not.
if it is mild weather and all the system is working properly,temp should not rise in trafficcompared tocruising. If it is hot, then fair enough, but i'm talking into the 90's.

RE: Overheating problems.
true (as I think I mentioned in a latter post) but I would think that at 205 a 160 would be wide open. And really there is nothing wrong with running at 205 which is just a tich above dead center normal. If it maintains those temps at 50 and at 80mph and can do it during summer he should be set to go.
