....you're running the AC? My car never used to do that before I put the stroker in. Now there is a marked difference.

Well, not qualified to state if this is it, but I'm seeing a trend the last few weeks to go to the SLP radiator for H/C or bigger motors. Food for thought. My temp stays the same with A/C on in my H/C car.

I would say if anything, it should say the same to drop a little, seeing when the ac is on both fans are aways on, not on/off by temp table.

Yes, this is how my car is too. When my A/C is on, both fans kick on, and my temps drop.

Well I definitely run warmer with the AC on. Maybe my second fan isn't working. Is there a relay for each fan?

YES! In the front engine fuse box.
