I run a three row radiator from autozone, stock hoses and a three dollar t-stat.

I only turn on my fan on the hottest summer days while stuck in a traffice jam otherwise it is off.

Withn a few minutes, my water temp goes up to 180 and sticks there. I've tried a 160, 170 an 180 and the 195 is most stable.

I also monitor my oil temp which is normally about 190 but goes up to 210 at sustained high rpm highway rpms. The coolant temp stays at 180 even when the oil temp rises.

I run a super charger and when in boost I see the oil temp quickly rise but the coolant temp remains constant.


It sounds like you have a really nice "trick" setup. The question is do you really need a really nice "trick" setup? Maybe not.
