Car is still overheating!

I finally got my car back and running and it is still overheating! I wonder if the fmic is blocking air from the radiator? I checked the fan wiring and its blowing towards the engine. Is there anything I can do? What about a different hood or something? Please help me figure this out!

Your front air dam is still there, right?

Do you have:
a 160* thermo?
fans tuning?
remove the air plate behind in front of the radiator?
Electric Water Pump might help a little bit also.

Have you checked your head gasket's. If they are blown that could cause your over heating.

My air dam is still there although the bumper lip is hanging down a bit due to the fmic tubing. I have the 160, fans are turning, plate removed, etc. How would I know if head gaskets are blown?
