Over heating at stop lights

Hey guys my car seems to be running upwards of 235 degrees on hot (90 degree) days when Im stopped at a light or in slow traffic. My question is do I need to upgrade from the fan and shroud that Procharger sent and maybe go with two 12inch pushers? It will run hot with or without the ac thanks

That took away all of my problems like that that I had. It is back to running around 175 to 190 degrees depending on the ambient temp. outside and if i have the AC on it might go up to around 200 or so if I am in a standstill.

You can upgrade the 16" fan and install an additional 9" SPAL fan on the shroud (which is what I did).

I also switched to the SLP (LT1) radiator.

The Spal fan 30102082 does not mount to the existing holes if I remember correctly. I am pretty sure I drilled new ones when I installed mine. It was not difficult at all though.
