Pewter99 hi
You wouldn't happen to have some pics of ic relocated with the bumper still removed ?
Not wanting to offer up the bumper 10 times before I get the ic in the correct location

I will see about spacing...
full shroud
I suppose an oil cooler is an option
my issue is ONLY with the AC running....sitting it creeps up and moving doesn't seem to help unless I can get a clear stretch of road with no one in front of me for quite a distance but in late afternoon or moderate traffic thats just not possible
without the AC it doesn't matter the car maintains temp with no issues

I had the same problem. I went to a tiger shark front end and it freed up the air flow and stronger dewitts fans and the car runs cool on the street now with the AC on but it was a battle as the twin turbo ttix car with an automatic runs really hot!
I'm not positive my rad is a dewitts as it came with the car but it looks like it.
also look into evans coolant it will operate hotter and not boil over
the red line style additives can sometimes help a small amount on the conventional coolant
good luck!
