but im gonna try the other stuff firstlet me tell you that the chrome isnt worth it. i had a chrome one on mine from mid america and it was all rusty in a year plus you have to take the pully off to polish it. if you want shiny i would suggest going with a polished aluminum one. anyways good luck

ok I think I fixed it i put a high flow mr. gasket thremostat in and check my air fuel mix. then I checked the timeing ( it was way off) and put a sensor to kick the fans on at 200 and off at 185 (after I had to return the first sensor to summit cause it was bad) . I let it idel in the drive of 30 min or so and it got to 200 and kicked on and then it droped to 195 and sat there the rest of the time so hopefully I fixed it thanks for the help.
