So i have an MP 400 HP 360 with the siamese 340 block and aluminum magnum heads ,
billet specialties tru trac serpentine with MP high flow water pump. Champion 3 row aluminum radiator, dual electric fans with shroud , 180* thermostat. in front of the radiator are an AC condensor and trans cooler . AC has not ran yet as its not charged. MSD atomic with timing control .
No matter what i do the car can idle both fans running full blast and it will come up to 220* driving it can go to 225 at a light when i get on the the open road it cools down slightly
things ive checked
Base timing is 15* BTDC per MSD instruction .
Distributor advance is locked out
fans come on at specified temp and stay on
i can feel plenty of hot air coming through them when they are on
i have made sure i put the thermostat in correctly
i tried adding a 5/8" restrictor in the lower hose to slow the flow and same result .
EVERYTHING i have for this cooling system is brand new so i doubt there are any clogs ,
afco collant
red line water wetter
lower hose is not collapsed when idleing
both hoses hot
i just dont understand whats going on here . the radiator is rated to 5-or 600 hp . fans are blowing strong . this car has been a two year project and after all of this i dont dare gdrive more than a mile in fear of a melt down .
