Procharger and cooling issue
Procharger and cooling issue i finally got my d1sc installed but my car is running hotter than i would like
my setup is a be cool radiator with a flex-a-lite 16" puller (2500 cfm)on the ati fan shroud and then im running a little cheap 12" pusher on the driver side
at idle my car stays about 175 degrees but when driving it goes up to the 210 range and it is cold here right now
any input from you guys that have dealt with this before would be nice

You shouldn't be having this kind of a problem with your two fans in this cooler weather. The first thing I would do is to make sure the fans are wired correctly. This is a very common mistake, and the air can bounce back from hitting the radiator and give the appearance of being wired correctly.
The next thing would be to make sure all the air is out of the coolant system, and the thermostat is functioning correctly. Bob

the new thermostat helped because my old one was sticking and the car would idle at 190 degrees, but it still gets hot under load
my a/f ratio is about 12.5 at idle and a little lower at part throttle

Not sure what kind of power you are making but those are pretty common temps for my car after a good pull even in cool temps. I installed an electric water pump, which cooled things down by 10-15 degrees.

Yeah, mine warms up to 190 - 200 and stays there. Hot or cold out it doesn't seem to make a difference. This is with a stock radiator, 1 16" Spahl paddle fan, and the Procharger fan shroud. As long as the fan is working my temps are happy. If the fan fails I am screwed as the temps rise fast with the fan off.
Did you reset the turn on for the fans in the PCM? I want full control over cooling, so bypassed the stock relays and installed a manual adjustable control with a probe in the upper radiator hose. I have a 180 stat and have the fans turn on full at 185. I also notched the core support and moved the AC condenser four inches in front of the radiator. That allowed me to mount a pusher to the face of the radiator. I don't run a shroud on the engine side of the radiator.
Don't know your setup but if it's a front mount intercooler then thats the problem.Seen it many times.We started to make panels that direct all the air to the radiator instead of the big opening left behind the intercooler going to the radiator.That dropped temps dramaticly while driving.
A 402ci car with shroud would run 220-230 degree's with AC on,after shroud it would run 190 under the same conditions.

i have the fans coming on full at 160 degrees
setup is an iron 6.0 370cu.in forged out and should be about 15 lbs of boost(ive hit 13 at part throttle)
and i should be somewhere in the 700 rwhp range but i havent dynoed it yet or even did a full throttle run yet
i have got on it but only to like 80% throttle and through first gear
i think i am going to cut a whole on the drivers side of the ati fan shroud and install another little puller on that side
i guess as long as it doesnt get up to 230 or so i will be fine but i hate to see what happens on a 110 degree day here
at part throttle and idle im commanding around 24 degrees of timing but it drops to 10 degrees with any good amount of throttle ,anything wrong with the timing in you guys opinion

Had a prob with the Procharged car overheating but only in hot weather and only when running the A/C. Amazingly, some additives (Hyperlube) cured it.
There are other threads about this. Try a search and you may find some more useful input.
Tune? If the fans are running correctly? and theres NOOOO air in the system ?Could it possible be in the A/R tune thats currently in it?Maybe its lean some? Im just throwing this out there guys LOL Dont bash me for this one LOL

valve, make sure it's open when not in boost you may
need a race valve to release more air. you could remove
1 elbow and drive the car and see if it gets hot. if temps
stay down you need more valve hope that helps
and im using a tial q blow off valve that i know stays open and blows alot of air out so i doubt i need anything there
im going to try the little puller fan on the driver side and put some water wetter or something in it and well see how that does
other than maybe im way off om my timing i dont know what else it could be but i think that is okay also
