Why screw with a good system? If all the parts are in good shape, it will 
happily sing along at 185-210 as it was designed to do. This has been 
covered many times, but folks many times want to shortcut broken or clogged 
items with quick fixes. Put all the systems in good repair and let it do 
it's thing. The only mod I've seen actually work here in Florida was a 
bypass of the low speed cycle to aid air con function. The 164 has a very 
capable cooling system. If you're overheating, find the problem and fix it. 
It's not the overall design.
