I needed something to go the way it's supposed to.....finally. >
I'm running a Howe Racing (aluminum) radiator. Well, on the highway it's actually a bit too cold (165-175 degrees). However, around town it's 190-200. Stop and go and it easilly climbs to 220. Turn on the a/c in stop and go and forget it. And it's not even summer yet. Well, i knew it was all a matter of air flow; so, I added a 1/2 shroud, covering the bottom and both sides. Unbelievable difference. I let it idle in the garage for 15 minutes today. I coiuldn't get it to 190! Now, that's not with the A/C on; but, I suspect 200 willl probably be the new max even in stop and go.
I also bought a 7 blade fan; but, I don't think I'll even need it (besides, it weighs about 15 pounds).
