tuning boosted ls7 - 230-240 ECT while cruising?
My tuner just finished putting together my build.
ls7 with a Novi 1500 with bolt ons. dewitts and a 160* thermo. meth. tr6 plugs.
He is doing some street driving/tuning without getting into boost, and is seeing 230-240 engine coolant temps . I know everything is tight down there, and we are in Florida but that is HIGH!
I have not confirmed with him with the IAT's or the oil temp was....or if we have water wetter in the system (would that even help?)
Any thoughts?
Would running a cooler plug help with engine temps?

On my platforms for forced inductions, I use BR7EFs. There's a couple different plugs guy use, but Id go to a 7 cold.
Id bet he may have a little air bubble that needs to be burped out of the coolant system.
