Not really sure of the question but with every psi
that you increase in the system you raise the boiling
point 3*. There is 2 types of radiator caps 1 for
a resvoir(recovery style system and non resvoir)
and the easy way to tell if you have the resvoir cap
is, if you hold the cap up right there is a metal plate
dangling down, the non resvoir doesnt have it dangling

just wanted to get an idea if i have the right cap on my dart. if i let it sit running it goes up to 200-210 degrees with a 180 thermostat.i put a 22 inch radiator in it fan might be a little small it is a 15 inch no shroud.thought about putting a 16 electric fan with thermostatic control on it. thanks Brad
