I purchased the Champion 3 row from Ledfoot racing a couple of weeks ago based on this thread, installed it last night and just got back from a 15 minute test drive. It ran right under 190 most of the time and only hit 193 when I sat at a light for a long time after just beating on it pretty hard. It's about 84 out right now so I'm ecstatic! I'm going to be giving it a 40 minute drive this afternoon at about 2 so we'll see if this continues. Just had to post something after this success!
