My Blown 383 lt1 seems to be running alittle hot Have a 95 z28 383 vortech pushing 10psi. Car has a electric water pump. Not sure what thermostat is in the car. But anyways. On hot days it will start running about 215 --- driving. At idle or a light it will cool back down to 195. Was thinking about putting a manual fan switch in the car. Would that drop it quite a bit if I had them running all the time. My old sts turbo camaro would run 190 all day with the fans on

run a 160 t and a manual fan switch, you won't need a tune for thats.But dont forget to turn it on! also being that your running F.I 'look into a water/meth kit keeps the I.A.T lot cooler for summer.then you would need a tune....
