Believe me, I'm fighting the overheating issues since day one when I have installed the A&A kit. Then i just got busy with other overheating issues with aeromotive fuel pump as it was heating and leave me stranded on road before the coolant 
...right now with RSI fuel system no issue with the pump and can drive long period but again comming back to engine overheating! so i'm working on this now.
No air bobbles in radiator + changed thermostat three times (one of them was factory and working fine on other vette) + installed Dewitts radiator + dewitts dual fan + Don't have hood blanket + I changed my hood to a vented exractors hood.. still overheating in stop and go traffic.
Right now three ideas to try and I hope it will help/solve the issue:
1- removing z06 cooler and buying an oil cooler that can be mounted behind of the fog light as my z51 found it broken!
(Any brand name that will work behind the fog light? not twin cooler or big like the breathless performance!)
2- trying to mount a reverse fan infront of the AC condenser! (what do you think guys?)
3- Sealing the upper gaps between the A&A shroud and radiator.pip/air filter. (done using a wide double tape,,, just to try)
4- Adding a bottle of 40 additive to pure distilled water. (Done)
btw, spacing the AC condenser will nto work as there is no space,, it will interfer with the supercharger inlet filter ot the pip going to the throttle!
and yes I'm getting 242F and more when driving more than 20-30min in stop and go traffic! and this is acheivable with as low as 1400-2000 RPMs only!
Whenever the road opens,,, and increasing my speed with keeping the RPM fixed and low as possible ,,, You can see the coolant temp dropping slowley till 210F
If above things doesn't work in our extreemly hot enviroment,,, then :
1-Remove the supercharger kit! or
2- Park the car and wait for the winter

These cars are easily drivable in hot weather. Many Forum members live in Fl, Tx, and Ca, where the summer temps run in the 90's +. You're missing something that a pro can find, and spoiling you own good time

I'm not sure guys and that's why I keep trying,, of course I'm working with a known performance shop in my area. We are trying to find the root cause of this overheating and kill it!
I spent too much to do upgrades and starting to give up with temp here reaching more than 110F!! = 44c... I saw many threads here with people facing an overheating suituation like me..
Also the c6 procharged guys faced the same as in this thread:
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-f...t-monster.html
Also try to read the last post!
And also I believe that many supercharged C6s are running fine and happy!
I will try the ideas above and I will report... hopefully by this week.
Thank you for your input,, and sorry for hijacking the thread

I let out about 15 seconds worth of Freon from my system, as I had AC shut off at idle when my car got hot in traffic. It worked just fine and it was really simple!
