My next step is changing the crank pulley from my existing 5.750 aluminum pulley to a stock 7.25 OEM pulley.


I don't know where you got your pulleys but CVF Racing offers a high flow pulley. I believe it's 6.4" diameter.(if you want to go back to an aluminum pulley) Not as large as the one you're trying now though.

I've read that some electric fans can be a restriction to air flow at cruising speeds.(while they are running) I wonder if hooking the fan up to a toggle switch and shutting it off while on the highway would be a good test to see if the temps stay lower. shruggy
