I have the ud water pump pulley and after the install my engine temps always are near 180 - 190. Hottest day here in Chicago as about 93* with high humidity, 45 minutes in rush hour traffic and my car gets up to 214* at most. Once I start moving again the temps come down quickly to ~200. This is with the a.c. on and a fluidyne radiator.
The car can idle in the hot weather all day and not pass 200*. I believe with rush hour traffic the heat from all the cars, and me needing a new front air dam I can run cooler.
I have installed a pusher fan in front of the radiator but I have not needed to connect it.
I have no regrets with my setup and no over heating issues.
