Default Cooling motor to much!

Just wondering what you guys think. I have bought the Hondata gasket, and a couple of other items to keep the motor cooler, but I leave out in Boston and its starting to get cool. Should I wait to spring time to add these mods. or should it be fine to add now?? Will the motor be to cold and will I still have regular heat?? Thanks for the input!

should be fine, just increase the anti-freeze to water ratio a bit, if you're worried about your motor being too cold when you start it up.

On of the other factors of cooling the motor was Royal Purple anit-freeze cooling system, it decrease temps by 10% or more.

All that stuff isnt going to hurt anything. That **** barely makes a difference during summer temps, if anything, you will notice that it may take an additional minute or two to reach operating temperature. Dont worry though it will run plenty hot enough to give you your heat.

The biggest thing i have noticed is that a car equipped with a CAI seems to take an extra minute or two to reach operating temp whenever its very cold outside.

The gasket wont do any harm, I have one and the IM still gets warm so its not like its a drastic effect anyways.
