Some more details about your setup would be helpful.
Do you have an air dam?
Is there shrouding covering the top of your radiator/condensor?

So it's the ATI kit with the ATI supplied fan shroud (single fan?) If so, ditch it. That thing sucks at cooling and it kills your IATs.

Is it water temps and oil temps or just water. Blown head gasket? Sx cool running around town heat up quick with power vs cool at speed heats up quick around town. I have a 427ci with a procharger and water temps 180-200 even when its 90+ outside.
Evans wtr pumps are the way to go to get flow at speed. Right now i like the Elect wtr pump because i do a lot of stop and go driving. It gives full flow all the time, but may fall short at WOT 6000+rpm. Giva and take
