: overheating problem is still here, 180* stat, 3 row radiator, just been redone, timing as high as I can go with no pinging and it runs cooler, but still hits 230* running about 75-80mph @ 2000rpms.
: what temp does everyone run on the interstate and what temp does the stock idiot light come on at?
Don't trust that idiot light! Mine never came on when my car once hit 235+. The reason I know it hit 235+ is because I had a Sunpro temp gauge too. BTW, I have a 190 thermo. and my temp is always 200 no matter how hot it is out side, 120 or 30 degrees, always 200. I have gone 110 or 65 and it may go a tad over 200@110 MPH but it is pretty constant. If your car runs at 230, you have a serious problem.
