I have a procharger and get those temps in 85-90 degree weather and I also cant run my AC because it starts to over heat.

I never had A/C with any of my setups.... with my old Procharger setup it would be about 185-190 with both the Iron block and the stock motor... Stock thermostat and a tune for a 160 stat but never put one in... and the single fan that was supplied with the kit from ATI.... we will se with the new setup.... to me anything over 215 and i start to worry....

one thing I do notice is that we all would like a cooler runner.I lowered temps alot with thr aftermarket rad.I couldnt run a/c in traffic in the summer with the stock radiator.I dont mean to ramble on but in defense of the stock radiator it was full of dirt,leaves etc and I could never get it as good as new.I think adding a good oil cooler would help.the vette has an oil temp guage the oil gets up to 250 sometimes.Engines are oil cooled also so this might help.

Yea good point... a good oil cooler will drop your engine coolant temps.
