Daytona. Like I said previous I'm using a Flow-kooler water pump. When I look into the radiator I can see a nice flow of water moving. I agree the 180* stat would normally be a better choice, but in my case I think it would make the car run even hotter in the summertime. I also agree with you on the timing. With the cam I have 274/286 dur. .488/.491 lift I think it should have more timing. I had it advanced to 10* initial but backed it back down to the stock 5* degrees initial, didn't make any difference. When the weather warms up I'll try your recommend 15* degrees and see what happens. Right now in 50 degree temps the car runs great, about 170* on my Auto-meter temp gauge, even in stop & go traffic it mite jump up to 180* but no more. Fan is sitting about 3/4 of the way into the shroud with the fan blades 1 inch away from the rad. Seems whatever I try makes no difference. Thanks for the advice.
