Ok I have been having this problem for the last few weeks now. This is what I have 95 5.0 H/C/I with aluminum radiator and also an electric fan that is wired to stay running all the time. I’m losing my antifreeze about ever two days I have to refill my over flow reservoir. The car stays pretty hot most of the time around 180-210 and even hotter sometimes with 160 thermostat that’s new. The system has no leaks (it has been pressure tested).has no water coming out of tell pipes and no white smoke. I checked the compression in the heads it was 170 all around (but was told that you can have good compression and still have a bad head gasket). And don’t have any sign of water in oil pan. I really don’t feel any power loss, Did 13.4 on the bottle with no tune (don’t know if that was a bad I idea but it felt good. don’t got a very good launch.)my problem started before I installed the Nitrous. I changed out thermostat twice and radiator cap. And flushed out system. I just don’t want to start a big project and at the end of all of it not be the problem. So just hoping I can get some good advice on where to start first. And if need to know more information let me know. Thanks

Pull the spark plugs and see if they are wet. Also, check the passenger side under the dash to make sure the carpet is not wet. If it's wet then you have a bad heater core.
