HEATING QUESTION: Thermostat

[Mr. Austin]

Finally a thread i have knowledge about.

Kenny, I have done the same on my car. it is a lot different still because u are running a supercharger. I have tried almost every thermo as well and thought it was my radiator at first got it re maned but turned out thats was not it. fan was doing an ok job but the issue was still apparent when driving at 80 MpH and that should not be occuring. I used a 195 (starting) went down to a 160 then a 185 and now i am running a 180 with 6, 1/2cm, holes and after the motor rebuild she is doing ok. In my case i heavily believe it was a slo water pump as it was the origonal. What kind of water pump do u have and whats the flow on it? (tehe) at 105* outside i 2 have to pull over and run the heater on high. Next thing going in will be an aluminum raditor. Got any extra of those?

This is the Thermo i am using and has been the best i have tried yet. Mr.gasket wasnt the greatest. WHen i put it is a smear a thin layer of red sealant on the disk.
