yup.....ya gotta burp the system to get out all the air pockets....if you do this correctly the overheating issue should minimize, if not go away all together. make sure to fill your overflow tank up some before you burp the system....it is likely that it will intake some fluid from the overflow tank to compensate.

get a serial gauge or data log it on the laptop. My stock gauge did the same thing when I had the AEM V2 in there as well. Same symptoms you had. checked it with the laptop and everything was fine.
