D1 procharged car running hot
I'm sure I'm not the only one that's had this problem. Car was cam only before and would run around 174-187ish before cruising on the freeway and would maybe jump to 210ish on a super hot day here in nor cal in traffic or in town.
Now that the blow is on, cruising on the freeway in 70 degree weather in the morning it hovers around 200-205 and on my way home from work in close to 100 degree weather it's up around 225 and will go over 230 of the a/c is on.
Just wondering if anyone has any tips or suggestions on getting the car to run a little cooler.
I'm sure the big intercooler blocking the radiator probably has something to do with it.

This has been beaten to death lately.
Do some searching. The cliff notes I'll give you are to look into a Dewitt's cut down radiator and call them and have them set you up with their brushless fan kit that mates to their cut down radiator. Having an intercooler in front of your radiator inhibits air flow and makes it a lot harder for the stock fan to pull air through.
Also check and make sure your current radiator and ac condenser are clean and free of debris.
