Yes to bypass, GTM fan upgrade w/shroud and Spal controller, larger oil pan supplied by APS. I have done a few searches but not really finding answers for sleeved block temps.

Thanks..... I have noticed that the fan should make quite a bit of a difference. I am still running around 210, and the system has been bled,burped quite of few times.

also have rear cooling mod, Nismo thermostat and bypassed stock oil cooler, also when the sleeves were done the opening was made bigger than the Darton instructions said to, since the first dumbass didn't even enlarge them at all in addition to bad sleeve install

very similar to mine, maybe around 5-10 deg lower in all settings, I think the bigger opening of the Nismo V2 bumper has helped air flow quite a bit

I removed the coolant line that goes through the stock oil cooler but I did add a Sertrab oil cooler, I figured that it would remove a heat source from the coolant system and cool the oil better, I live in South Florida so I figured I didn't need the coolant to help warm the oil when the car was cold.

Any mods that can be done to help with A/C bumping up the temps?? I run a constant 198, but the second I turn on the A/C the temp bumps to 208-213. No I cannot stop using it ! 
Texas heat at 103 is freaking insane to drive in.

My temp hangs around 200-205 in traffic...maybe a little higher in Houston with AC on.....in outside temps above 95 degrees. As long as your fans are working you will be fine

Are you bleeding the system from the factory bleed "T" on the rear passenger side of the engine? That is the highest point of the cooling system and where the air pockets would collect.
