cooling problems
cooling problems i got everything back together , but i always had my factory temp gauge and its allways been off i guess . its a 383 lt1 forged and ai headed that put down 452 rwhp on motor and 750 rwhp on the shot threw a auto and 12 bolt and slicks . i put a autometer gauge in and it runs 230 deg driving down the road and goes to 250 deg when hard on it . what rad and fans are u guys getting or with one is the meanest ones out there ?plus im still running all the a/c stuff , i love my a/c !
Are you sure you bleed the system properly? Stock fan settings?
The stock cooling system works very well. The baddest out there would brabably be a BeCool radiator, but that big $$$.

I had overheating problems with my 383 but supercharged. I also have ac and it would get hot in traffic. try this first. I put radiator cleaner not the 10 minute stuff, the one that says to drive for a couple of hours, I drove it for a few days. Then I went to a wrecking yard and bought a electric fan off of a Honda or simular, Only paid $20. I wedged the fan in front of the radiator and brace and wired it to the stock fans...After that, I could Idle all day in traffic with the ac on in the Texas heat..
