Re: Radiator choice

Give it a shot, but I'm doubting that you will be able to accomplish 180 under those conditions. The condenser is running at 160-200+deg depending on head pressure and the cooling air has to pass thru it first.

My stockish 93 350 TBI truck runs at 195-205 in the summer here (a/c on) and it's just fine. I wouldn't be scared of 200ish.

Are you having detonation or fuel percolation problems when it gets hot?
