Aftermarket Radiator Cap Good Idea?

How well do they work and do they cause any problems? Is raising the pressure in the your radiator bad for it? Also what do you think about the Spoon radiator cap? Good buy or not?

use it with the other Spoon temp mods, the thermostat and fan swich, you'll get much more use out of it... using it alone will only cause your car to warm up slower...

With a higher pressure radiator cap, you increase the boiling point of the coolant.

+1psi radiator pressure = +3

You probably don't need one. Save your money.
