It will run the car cooler...Nice if you are doing some track day racing but for a daily driver I don't think it is really worth it. For a daily driver stock will be good.

would it really run cooler ? because everything on his car right now must work or it would be overheating. what would the spoon parts do that my walmart parts couldnt ? spoon is a waste of money anyways, people only buy it to put a spoon sticker and claim spoon.

Yeah it would run cooler...the thermostat opens at a lower temp...the radiator cap is a high pressure model that raises the boiling point of the coolant allowing for more cooling capacity. The cooling fan switch activates when the coolant is at a lower temperature. So it is theoretically going to run cooler.
