So that's getting a bit warm there but not overheating. What's your timing situation, base and VA setup?

Before I completely abandon this pursuit does anyone know if a 7 blade fan is that much better than a 6 blade? I have the Derale 17118 fan with a Hayden severe duty clutch. I was told the 73-87 GM 454 fan will fit in that shroud and it’s 7 blade. Anyone recommend a better fan than that?

I got the 17019 for my T/A and it cured all of my american idle air flow woes for good...

I drove it today and at 78 degrees outside with air blasting there was very little temp creep. I contacted Derale and I have the only 18 inch clutch fan they make. I just need a tiny bit more CFM to stop this. Does anyone have a recommendation for the absolute most aggressive 18 fan I can buy?

Find a 7 blade fan, will move more air due to more area to grab air.
You didn't mention which thermostat, I'm assuming it's 180 deg F. In regards to the 215 deg F operating temp, if my home thermostat was set to 70 and the AC couldn't regulate temps any better than 35 deg above the thermostat set point, I'm thinking I may have an issue. Did you adjust the cut-in temperature of the fan clutch? Does it roar when you blip the throttle once temps have gotten up there? |

Keep this in mind with a 7 blade fan.
Even when it’s freewheeling at high road speeds it WILL block off air flow from passing thru the radiator than a 6 blade fan. You may need to find a balance point where at high road speed a big throttle openings ( IE high Hp production) you might find the temp creeping up on you. You might find that a temp of 215 at 4500 rpm is more un-nerving then 215 degrees seen at 800 rpm.
