The guy in question was running in the 140's going down the road.  Cars need to be at least 160 to minimize engine wear.

Were they running 140 or was the gauge indicating 140.  I noticed that my VDO temp gauge reads 182 when I'm 160 now. My scanmaster and IR temp gun back up my 160.

Moral of the story: Sometimes you have to know when not to trust your tools :)

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.
