92 runs warm
Hey everybody just wondering if anybody has any ideas about why my car heats up. It stays nice and cool on the highway but in city traffic on warm days the heat gradually creeps up but it never gets "too" hot just alot more than I would like. Any ideas? Thanks.

It is completely normal for the LT1 to run in the 220-235 range in stop and go city traffic.
Is that too hot? Some people think so, but that's the way it came out of the factory.
Do a few searches on this and you will find enough information to keep you reading for months.

230 in traffic is normal, on the highway, it would be too high.
