I have been overheating ever since i went to that #^#%@& track. here is a couple pics, a friend of mine and another mech said they never seen one do that before. got another one installed in (a 195) and i looked over all the tubing again later and found a pin sized hole in one of my coolant tubes, it was spewing out when we pressurized it.
  the temp went back down to normal, but on my way to see my gf (1 hr away) it seemed to be rising above halfway again when i got around 80 mph didnt want to push it so i slowed down why is it still doing that? is there something i overlooked?

shouldnt have that been replaced during your swap? its pretty much on everyones to do list when they do a swap, along with plugs, wires, etc... since its such a cheap item to replace.
btw, get a new one from toyota. the quality is worlds apart from what you can buy at a car parts store. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

I dont think it was. I replaced the thermostat already (on friday) but the needle still rises when i get on the gas Im hoping its not a head gasket...
