Vented hood helps and is the easiest thing to do. Other things would be radiator, oil cooler, etc but I think thats overdoing it for a street driven car.

Also I can speak for justin, but its becoming known that the AEM CAL tables for coolant are off by about 15-20 degrees so if he hasn't updated them, his temps were fine

Oh wow - I had no idea about the aem tables. I'm sure that they wouldn't have been calibrated so maybe I really am fine...

Typically my car runs at 190 degrees.

I'd stick to whatever is in your system now as certain parts of your tune (cold start) I believe is based off of what the coolant temperature is.

It shouldn't be necessary, just be aware that your numbers might be off by a few degrees on the hot side which I guess is better then being too cold

the fan switch for MY06+ is different than MY05 and prior. The fan switch was replaced by a second coolant temperature sender. You need to modify the any aftermarket radiator a bit to get the temp sender to fit properly in place of the fan switch.
