just had some stuff installed LS6 intake, pacesetters longtubes with off road Y nfktr55 wires msd plugs 160 theremostat anyway like my my temp gauge has been acting kind of funny, If I am standing still not going anywhere the car will heat up past like 210 like almost halfway then the fans come on and cool it down. Fans are tuned to come on at 180 when I drive that thing stays cool though no problmes is that normal I asked a friend of mine he says his jumps around like that too sometimes any of you experienced this also like with my hearders if I take a jacked up turn to hard or maybe go over hard bump or something the headers seem to tap the floor board I mean everything is cool car runs good just those things just wonder if those are common problems.

get some poly motor mounts that will help stop the headers from taping the floor board

My tuner told me not to pay attention to the stock temp gauge....best bet would be to plug in a data logger and see what it says....

yeah nevermind that stock temp gauge, it reads a little off, but sitting in traffic will cause th etemp to rise, and 210 is normal anyways for hot traffic driving.
