If you are interested, here are some video (from my cell phone cam) of my engine runs today (July 3, 2008).  I ran the engine with a shop vac blower in one ram vent and the radiator fan on for about 12 minutes at 2000 rpm and then went to low idle of 1500 for another three minutes.  The temps went into the mid 2-teens (about 214-16) after about 12 minutes.  Temps stabilized at about 215 for both coolant and oil temp when I reduced the rpm to 1500  and didn't go up at this lower rpm (actually, it dropped a bit).  The outside air temperature was about 91 degree's with Houston humidity of 90+.
 
I think you may need Quick Time to view the video.  Also, it is a small vid....heck, it is from a cell phone....the whole idea is kinda absurd...camcorder/camera in a portable communication device.  Geeesh we are spoiled. <g>....and I am happy about it.
 
All the best,
 
Chris
