Ok, the results are in kind of. I say kind of because it is kind of cool outside today, although it seemed my car would get hot no matter what before anyways. I took it for about a 15 minute drive after letting it idle for about 5 mins and the needle went up to about the half way mark which I assume to be 175 at the midway point so it was about 170-180 degrees,and held there while idling for about another 5 mins after I got back. and I am currently running with a gutted out t-stat. So if it were me, I wouldn't put in those pumps with the shorter vanes on them. I would return them and drop 16 bucks at autozone, and it isn't even a special order item...on the shelf just my opinion. One more thing, after parking I popped the hood and grabbed my hoses and they were merely luke warm, Before they would damn near scald my fingers if I were to try that! I hope this info has helped you guys!
