You don't think a 34 is excessive for daily off-on track use? What are the risks I face for running too cold?

You'll still over heat with a 34 on a hot day. Like high 200's.

Just use a block off plate. Duct tape and card board will even work. Long as you're above 160 you'll be fine. Cut the plate to achieve 180 though.

If I were to buy a row, at point which should I cut it in half? I'm assuming anything over 240 is high for you?

The only thing Japanese about Mishimoto is the name. CSF or go home
