Default Does my Car run hot u think???
okay I have a 95 z28... built 383 stroker running 10psi boost... I have a electric waterpump, 180 thermostat fans on high all the time and the car has been running 204 and climbs alittle here and there..I know thats normal operating temps but on my old 94 tubro camaro it never went over 180 -- just wondering cause I noticed allot of people dont get that high in temps with a similar set-up.. I wanted to get it around 180-190.... not sure if its cause of the electric water pump or not

204 is fine for operating temp. The EWP is the same at all RPMs. (flows the same at idle or at 7000rpm) Just something to keep in mind.
