Normal
I did not notice the brighter lights, but I had the NGauge sitting on my lower console because I do not have a suction cup mount. I am not sure what the stock temperatures are on our trucks, but it sounds like the Full Race IC and 170 t-stat are really doing their jobs when compared to your higher temps. Maybe you can talk with your master techs at work to see what they think.I will let other chime in, but I do not think a lower t-stat will help with the IAT2 temps since they are separate systems.I have the 542 plugs and SPD TAs as well, but I never ran them without the 170 t-stat for comparisons. I know others have said there is no real benefit to a lower temp t-stat, but I did mine to keep the engine running cooler for our long hot summers.
