Adding about 10 ounces to the coolant system
Even though I installed 1 180 thermostat and a 2 core radiator its still a bit hot to me
The needle was pegged almost hot
You can see my needle is at half now witch is very good to me

the car has been running for about 45 minutes nowView attachment 23170

Cruising around with my son. He gets a kick out watching people trying to race me constantly.

My temp was a little to close to hot mark
The thermostat was opening at 180 witch is new normal
But it builds up to much heat the radiator is new
New pump new hoses 50/50 antifreeze
Fan is working properly
It still is building to much heat
When I added the water wetter it brought my temp down to half the gage witch is better than what it was
There should only be 1 pic of the gages not sure how I got pics

Did you adjust the fans in the computer to match the new thermostat?

RAU03MACH · Jan 21, 2023

No in the tune the temp matches thermostat and temp
For some reason this mother likes hot
I had the same issues with my 97 cobra
With the supercharger I used the same thing on it and cooled it down

Double wrenched my driveshaft bolts into submission and noticed the pinions seal has a leak.

Super.

Interesting was curious if the s197 was like the new edge computer. I was having trouble with mine where the needle would jump considerably at WOT even after new fluid and water wetter so I bumped the fans to turn on 10* earlier and it fixed the problem. Still running the stock 190* tstat but brought fans to 200* low speed and 210* high speed. Was thinking it might help if you dropped yours lower as well.

Some vehicles just run hotter than others it happens
My 92 gt with 460 ran hot
At the drags it was hot
Then I started experimenting with the water wetter and others
That vp is the best coolant helper I found 30 degrees cooler is a lot for 10 oz in a full radiator
