performance radiator cap?
 
are these safe to use that have higher pressure or will it mess up something? or do they even do anything compared to stock? I wanna get one but not have problems later. here are my choices I'm deciding on:

uhh...these things actually make some kinda difference? they are just caps.

well technically they are 1.3 instead of 1.1 so they keep the coolant at higher pressure. this will increase the boiling point by about 10F or so. I bought the greddy one :)

Its pretty hard to overrun the cooling system. so I can't see it being of much use.

If you're constantly under your hood....when are you doing what the car was intended to do? (drive)

word of caution, people have problems with the spoon sticker peeling thats why i went with greddy. doesn't look like a sticker.
