The only assumption that I am making in this respect is that the fan switch, ECT sensor and the sensor for the temperature gauge are all over-reading: I can see the increased temp on the gauge amd my SECS monitor, and the fact that the fans kick in at the correct temp confirms my suspicions.

Of COURSE I am using the extra performance!!!

Cheers, this was the answer I was looking for. Assuming you're correct?
