VERY dissapointed with these 2....

One thing you guys forgot to mention, is if you have A/C or not. The original post was about the A/C being on and it heating up.

I have a 3 core Griffin alum rad, a black magic fan, brand new stock water pump, underdrive pulleys, 180 degree hi-flow t-stat, and A/C.

Car runs 180-185 even in the hottest conditions. But when you turn the A/C on my car slowly overheats. This would indicate either inadequate (sp?) fan cfm, or not enough flow, assuming the cooling system is in good shape.

I am going to try to take out the restrictor in the heater core lines, and see if that helps. I am also going to try the stock water pump pulley and possibly a high-flow water pump.

I currently run water wetter and 50/50 mix antifreeze. I will try these things soon as the weather gets hot. Temp just dropped into the 30's and its snowing right now.

I posted about this before, and got all kinds of helpful info, but not one person who posted had A/C and used it.
