We are sill worried a little about the temp, Its running between 200 and 210 on the highway and in town, It has a 180 thermostat new cross flow radiator and dual fans with shroud, I guess these supercharged stroker motors run a little hotter,  Is this where i need to be or should I keep searching for ways to run cooler.  Extra note these 95 Mustangs have incredible underhood heat.  I am going to wrap these BBK Longtubes to try and help

maybe a heat extractor hood or a cowl hood that actually open.
how big is the radiator? stock or 3 core?

wrapping the headers may be a good place to start.

also, if you have a 3-core radiator, I'd suggest getting a heat-extraction coating on it (most powder-coating places can do it) its very popular in circle-track cars and on intercoolers.

Guys, My son went on his cruise last night after getting the Flowmaster series 10 installed and he installed the middle air dam under the radiator, that i had broken off with a jack that was too tall, Ya'll were right about that little piece, it reduced the temp down 15 degrees, he is running about 180-195 on highway temp now and about the same idleing, we are still going to wrap the headers, I ordered the lava rock wrap yesterday, it should be here on Monday. I will update when we get it installed. Donnie
