We've gone through this at naseum on the 300 site. There are many threads from SRT Engineers swearing that these cars were fine and designed to run at higher temperatures. They have tested lower t-stats and have seen no performance gains. None of our members believe that since they have proof after dyno and track runs. I think it all comes down to bean counters and the warranty *****.
