Here is my question- what temp are you happy with driving around?
As a test to see how it did I took it out today since it was 95 and I went through a chick fil a drive through. I figured that would be a great test for it.
Quickly went to 180/190 then when I sat in the drive through it got to about 205, 210 by the time I was done. Drove a few miles home and it stayed at 210.
I guess since it didn’t go down on the drive home with additional flow I should expect it to peak around 210.
Being that I live in Houston I have the fans wired up to be on with the ignition. At a humid 95 deg I’m pretty happy with 210 in a drive through.
What are your thoughts?

Get rid of the cold case shroud and fans, the radiator with 1 1/4" tube is great. I went through the same thing, put the stock shroud and a clutch fan back on. I have 571 cu in Pontiac and run a 160 thermostat there shroud is flat against the radiator and fans can't move enough air. I was running 190 to 200 + put the stock shroud and I think its a 19" hd clutch fan back on and now its 165 to 175.
