all that stuff isnt going to help if you have an issue. how bad is it overheating? using the stock gauge? check the basics first, pressure test, rad. cap, plugged rad, fan clutch

LOL..na adam, the radiator is too small cuz its stock and the engine is tricked out with heads, cam, whole bunch of other part. tremec tranny. The stock fan is gon cuz car has under drive pullys. My electric fan went out and I think I need a better radiator and that should do it. What do you think?? *I wanna go with a dual fan now. [burnout] [burnout]

my cousin was using a stock rad with black "tragic" flexilite electric fan. he was running 306 H/C/I with boost and all the bolt ons. that set up barely kept him cool in san deigo. still think you might have an issue somewhere else. how bad is it over heating?

I was running dual v6 contour fans with good results with 3 core rad.

Overheating is caused by the fact that I have to fan..overheating aint that bad only after a while of cruizen and doggin it that it happens..Should I go with dual or single electric fan.

trade me for my super clean 84 t5,,, i need to bring the heat up in my car , but you need to lower your temp right?? oh and those alumnium heads are retaining the heat,,,only go for cast iron for maximum coolness. the aluminum also cause detonation
