Need Help with cooling issue F1A and iron 408

I am running the stock radiator with the single procharger fan and shroud. I have an f1A and an iron 408. Runnning a 160* thermostat and my ECTs are still 215 to 225 degrees. What could be the problem?

not enough fan , mine runs warm too , you need to upgrade your fan or just add another i think 8' or 9' fan to the shroud .

I agree, you could replace the fan with a Spal 30102082, which will keep the radiator much cooler, or add an extra 9" Spal fan along with your existing fan. Bob

Bigger radiator such as the griffin that everyone uses, stood up and a dual spal setup will cool it off. You need to over build the cooling system. More cooling capacity and more airflow will get you there.
