FI guys with ac in hot climates come in So I have my griffin radiator stood up with the stock condensor in front of it like normal. I have the lower air dam and a factory shrouded dual puller setup off a 2001 saab 93 that fits like a glove.
In 90degree heat in traffic for an hour with ac on I get up to about 210 with a 160 thermostat.
When is hot to hot? What are you guys seeing in city driving,ac on and 90 plus outside?
No non ac cars please.

That's awesome yours stays that cool. I'd be happy with that. I have two fans on mine now and it keeps it in check. Procharged here with the 9" spal and stock large procharger fan

I don't even remember what these cars temps were when they are stock with the ac on in heat. Its been so long since stock.
Im going to be doing more testing today and this weekend. I have an hour traffic ride home today and its 97 and really humid out. We will see

In ~100 degree heat with just a 16" puller I get up close to 220 with the AC on after a while. Procharged here also. It didn't used to be so bad, but this past year has been worse for engine temps for some reason. This is with the stock radiator though.

06 GTO stock radiator and fans in traffic On 100 deg day I see temps around 210/225 once I get the car moving she usually hovers around 205. 160 deg thermostat as well. If I never turn the AC on it wont get any hotter that about 195. Almost the same for my oil temps.

Ok left work after car sat in 95° temps for 10 hours. Sat in real chicago traffic for 45mins. Got to 226. After I got off the highway (stop then 5mph,repeat) and got on side streets and moving alittle it went to 217°. I read that a stock car has low fan kick in at 225 and high speed at 235.
So I think my temps are ok. With out ac it gets to about 200.
