Don't have a weather station. What are some things you guys will do to keep the engine running cooler. Example last weekend, cooler out, tacky motor eater, was out front but temp still was rising. Following night similar temps, but much less out of throttle , temp was good. Do you guys have go to jet changes or any other hints or tips? Thanks

Biggest issue I see is people have their fan too far away from the radiator .. it needs to be 3/4" away or so, no more.

Also, I run the old GM 4 blade fan. I've never had a cooling problem with the combo of those two.

Same set up as you. I just thought maybe it was jetting related.
