hi im new to the forum

I have a 93'5.0 5spd,BBK shorty's,BBK O/R H,MSD(cap,rotor,wires,coil,6a), 3.73's, y otro shit
95k milage


my car is havig a problem running cool.

i have already purchased

Ron Davis aluminium Radiator
and a Tauras 2 speed fan/shroud

do you think this setup will be enough to keep my engine cool??

i also have a 160 thermostat already installed

the car has never overheated on me but some times it will run 3/4 on the gauge but usually it runs at half

about how hot is half way on the temp gauge??

any recommendations on the fan speed control??

185 T-stat.

Make sure you seal the fan, I used that weatherstrip tape stuff to fill the gaps. I run my fan on the low setting, if you plan to run on the high setting you should at least check your alt if not replace it with a 3g.

Also, make sure to get a 100 amp relay from the controller to the fan.

Check your timing, are you pinging?

it allows the coolant to remain in the radiator longer, which cools it more
