Default car running hotter than normal after vig

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this but bear with me. I went to the track Sat. night after installing my new vig 3200 and after making a pass I noticed the car was heating up a bit. Usually at the end of the track I am around 200 but now it is 215-220. We put the trans cooler in front of the radiator along with my FTRA duct, this cut exposed area down some I realize. What should I do? 160 thermostat, SLP fan switch, hypertech to adjust fan settings, or remove the FTRA duct. Any advice would greatly be appreciated. Thank you

Yes. Fan switch, and 160 thermo. You could also use Redline Water Wetter.

I gave up on the FTRA for that reason. My car ran too hot... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
