Im lookin at 15min warmup time. I start my car at 1140 at night, change my shoes lock up my shop and when i come out my car is almost 160 depending on ambient temp. By the time I hit the highway my car is at 180 but cools down to the low 160's. So I guess I misunderstood why ae was sayin no need for a thermo. I also forgot most people don't work 3-midnight like i do. That is why im goin with the thermo but I have heard also of having to do a partial block off on the 34row.
