220 with no ac .

If you still have the stock thermostat you should really look into getting a lower temp one. That plus adjusting your fan should help a lot. In traffic in the high 90's here my temp will get into the mid 180's and the IAT's will be 120-130. That's not moving at all. Once I start moving everything comes back down.

And that's on your upgraded radiator.

220 with no ac .

That's on stock radiator with stock eaton on an otherwise stock car.

I post similar numbers with a built motor sporting an over spun 2.9 Whipple and a killer chiller running full blast and everyone looses their minds haha these cars run hot.

BTW that radiator you linked was installed on a 97 Cobra locally by a buddy and he loves it. Says he notices quicker recovery of temps when they get up there with some hard driving.

Hope it holds up for awhile..


its hard to follow..the 220 I was seeing was no ac on..but only 70s outside..

After 80deg car will overheat..seen temps like u 238 plus.


I did do the 170 tstat with 2 holes drilled.


next couple days here will be 110 heat index...ungodly hot

Hopefully new radiator brings those down.
