No, it will run just fine in the winter time. The thermostat will keep it
running where its soposed to be. if you get a thermostated oil cooler, it
will do the same. (I highly recommend a thermostated oil cooler!) If it
runs too cool then stick some cardboard in behind the grill to block the
airflow. I bet it improved the downforce over the hood too!
