Warm Weather cooling
What are you all doing in the southern states for cooling on your forced induction cars? I just purchased a TT 427 car and it runs around 200 when moving but as soon as slow down or get stuck in traffic the temp goes up pretty quick. Its running a Dewitts radiator and the dual spal fans. I want to switch to the single brushless but they are out of stock until July. What water pump and thermostats are you running?

160 thermostat
if you can put an eletric waterpump im sure your temps will go down
also add a oil cooler for the engine and that will bring temps down aswell
does are the only things i can see that could help u out big time

Messed with both. The dual PWM d3 setup moves a bit more air than the 17", but it doesn't fit cutdown radiators, so I run the 17". With a TT setup I don't see why you would have a cut down radiator, so the d3 setup is the top choice.

I will update it this week. Since my changes I have not seen above 196 degrees with warmer outside temps then last month when I was regularly seeing 230+. Lots of time and work but it worked and I don't hate the car as much anymore lol

Removing that weather strip where the hood closes by the windshield made mine drop by 15*. I thought it was a joke until I tried it.

Okay, you have to elaborate. My car is a daily driver and I drive in the rain. Would it be safe to remove this strip? Yesterday, temp outside was 94. Just driving my temps went up to 240. When I hit bumper to bumper traffic, I had to turn off AC. That took me back to 230.

Won't hurt anything. You can spray the whole engine down with a water hose and everything will still be fine. Electrical connectors are sealed pretty well these days
