2002 Camaro ss overheating I have a 2002 camaro with a procharger, and I'm only pushing about five pounds of boost. When I turn the air conditioning on the temperature goes past 210 and sits maybe around 250. With the air conditioning off it doesnt overheat at all. Is this caused by not having a big enough fan? And if caused by the fan what is the best aftermarket fan i can get?

You have to remember when you use the a/c it draws on the motor...creating heat and energy. Motor has to work harder to run the pump. I would say changing your thermostat...cooler setting example 150 degree from say 160 degree. If that doesn't work, well then I say the a/c has to go. Are you using a stock radiator? If so, what is its condition? Is still in good shape?

FI section might be able to help better.
T-stat should not be an issue unless it is not working at all which does not seem to be the problem because it is only when the ac is on.
I would upgrade to a high flow water pump. Possible look at a better radiator than stock.
