f1a overheating???
f1a overheating??? does anyone have problems with f1a on fbody with fmic and overheating in traffic? just trying to figure out my next build for the winter! thanks aj 
if you dont have AC it will be a breeze! I have a spal pusher on the front of my radiator and the stock procharger fan assembly. And no AC condensor and my car never gets over 200*. I have stock thermostat as well with stock water pump as well.

I have an F1R and No I don't have any overheating issues even in summer months. It will get warm in traffic 215 or so, but thats about the hotest is gets and cools down once moveing again. sat in traffic on Sunday for about 1hr with out any issues. LT1 radiator SDCE fan set up or simular with the air deflectors in place.

sdce fan setup?
air deflectors in place?
to the op, from the research that ive done for a very long time. it seems like the spal xtreme 16" and a 9" spal fan pulling an having a 16" pusher on the otherside (with no shroud) along with a 160 t stat is the best for cooling. you could even throw in the lt1 with that setup while your doing everything which is what i will do when the time comes.

Here's a link to my Z28, which started out with an F-1A and then we switched it up to an F-1C. At the '07 LSX Memphis 35 mile True Street cruise, it didn't overheat and we had a Powerglide with a 5000 stall. Bob

No, we played around (we should of left it alone...) with a different camshaft profile and it turned out one of the mechanics at our shop, who swapped the cam, never replaced the valvesprings, which were the original AFR supplied springs! It also explains why the F-1C never gained us more boost over the F-1A. Every time I think about it I get a sick feeling in my stomach. I was so busy in the office I assumed the obvious... Bob

I see alot of people recommending the LT1 radiator but there are several different kinds. OEM shows both the LS1 and LT1 are only 7/8 thick but Auto Zone sells a LS1 thats 1 1/4 thick. Do you know where your friend purchased his? I am in AZ. and its time for a cooling upgrade.
I already ordered two Spal fans I just need a good radiator.
Thanks, Dave
