MoTeC with a CAN to the AIM dash, so I read it where the ECU sees it, right behind the Tstat at the hottest point.

It's fine, there's nothing wrong with that.... most modern cars run at that temp anyway

SS retains heat more than the AL will shed it... you're basically retaining the heat with that piece of SS. Also.... the fan needs to be spaced off the radiator at least an inch. This will pull more air through a larger area

Mistake number 1 is have a switch for a fan... it should be automated
