well it always gotten hot at an idle ive tried 180 t stat the 160 no t stat at all and its always gotten hot at an idle, i can hold it 2500 at a stand still and it will kool down to 190-210 and stay there as long as ive got it at around 2500 if i let it idle it heats back up

i dont see the radiator being my problem as my old man ran a stock 2 core brass/copper radiator with a flex fan in his nova with a big block that ran 10.50's in the 1/4 ran a steady 220 temp, my 3 core aluminum has got to be better than an old brass/copper 2 core

so i should get a fan to pull air through the radiator is what you guys are saying?
