Overheated tonight: Related to prior issue?

Results are in. :cheers: The Champion CC526 3-core installed with factory shroud. Outside temp was 88-90 degrees F.

I ran the interstate for a 25 mile non-stop stretch at a constant 78-80 without A/C. I did several full throttle bursts to...well use your imagination. The temp hung around 188. It got up to a max of 192 after the bursts. If I slowed to 70 for traffic, the temp dropped to 182. Pulled off highway to cruise around a mall in traffic, the temp dropped to 178-180.

The way back home I used the A/C. Cruising around the mall the temp got to 185 in traffic. On the return with the A/C going I saw the same results as with no A/C. It never got above 192 even with full throttle bursts.

Thanks for all the help and suggestions. Someone should do a detailed write up for a sticky on basic cooling issue troubleshooting.
