car running hot
car running hot my car is running hot with A/C on It is a 02 Z28 with a procharger on it. I have a 16" 3500cfm puller, 14" 2300pusher in front of condensor and I am using purple Ice 75/25 water mixture. It runs fine until your go threw town and in traffic it will start to get hot about 230 or so. both fans come on at 170 off 165. Is there a radiator out there that can bring down the temps?
Does the car still have the lower plastic air dam on it? if that is missing it will run hot on the highway...
Secondly how many miles on the car. the external fins of rad my be plugged with crap and have to be blown out..

So you converted the car to a front breather for the IC. This might be one of the problems. With you changeing so much of the airflow going to the rad. You might have to change some things around. Namely have all the air go through the Rad. With the underneath of the car still open. The airflow might not be going through the rad. Just another thing to consider..

I hear that running hot with a supercharger is common .
Something you may want to look at is the two small tubes toward the top of the radiator (almost above the other ) may be crossed if you have removed the of late . One is the steam line and the other is the coolant overflow .
With these crossed you can ride around without ac and the car will not run hot but as soon as you kick on the ac it will start to over heat .
