My fender air extractors are functional tho and I have the proper lower air baffle installed, factory filler panels on the rad support, weather stripping between my rad and support, and the factory air diversion flaps for the side of the radiator. I'm running a 12 core C&R radiator as well so YMMV.

Sounds like a nice setup. I do well at cruise, usually 180 with the air on, sometimes 185. My problem is at idle, it continually creeps up until it is way too hot. I have tried a lot of things which has helped but it will still hit 220 and climbing, slowly, (before the changes it would peg the gauge at 245) but still climbing. If it got to 220 and stabilized there I would not worry about it. Plus, this gives me a chance to do another project I've been wanting to do.
