Sounds like it’s cooling pretty well. If you don’t mind be asking, what temperature are you wanting to get to? Your car hasn’t ever boiled over has it?

Good luck!

I agree. I don't think you're ever gonna get this to idle, with the A/C on, and stay near 185. Maybe put it on E85 or methanol. lol I'd say you're lucky to stay near 200. You can throw it in neutral when you're stopped and rev the engine up slightly. This can have a dramatic affect on your temp. I know it's a pain. But it does work.

Back about four or five pages ago I suggested that raising your idle could have a dramatic affect. Just sayin...

Glad you got it under control!

At that time raising the idle even to 1200 did nothing
