Don't know for sure, but since the grizz is water cooled, I would think it wouldn't reduce temps noticeably. Now it would reduce wear, which is good too. Something like engine ice in the radiator would help it run cooler.

I could be wrong, but the wife says I think I never am. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
