Default Overheating??

guys..i am really considering going APS TT...or TN ST for that matter..
but i heard that everyone who installed FI on their Zs in this region (i am in Dubai, United Arab Emirates) are experiencing overheating issues and so..
the temprature here is an average of 75F six months of the year from november to april..where is the other six months it averages at about 95F..i will definately not be driving the Z in the summer...i have a second car..
anyone in miami or so called warm states experiencing overgheating...if yes..what would the outside temp be?

if i go that route i will add an oil cooler, lowertemp thermostat and a vented hood...the radiator is already improved on gulf spec Zs...
any advice is appreciated..
thanks

Default No issues so far

My Z is in south Florida. Have seen outside temps of 85F so far. No overheating issues.
Water temp about 195 F and oil temp about 210 F maximum in heavy traffic. Lower temps when on the highway. Mobil 1 says their oil good to 400 F!

Only turbo Z's that are road raced seem to really need larger radiator and oil cooler - but they certainly can't hurt.
