Yea, it runs fine now. Added a Permacool radiator and had a full tune done on it, and it stays at a good temperature now no matter how hot it is outside.

Did you install different fans or anything? Is that a bigger radiator?

The radiator is much bigger. Its all aluminum, and Permacool has it rated at 700 horsepower, but im not sure how they come up with this rating.
The fans move some serious air. They are SPAL fans. I didn't change them around or anything.

The timing was actually much lower before I got the full tune. The timing was at 14 with the partial tune, then with the dyno tune I believe it is around 18 degrees or so. I think the proper AFR helped the most.

They are Spal low profile fans. I believe they are only 2" deep. I am not sure on their overal lengh. For the radiator just go to summit or jegs, and search for radiators for 93-02 camaros/firebirds. It was $500 plus $42 for the cap.
