Indy heads single water crossover /single plane manifold.

My God I know things are big in Texas but that is the biggest water pump pulley I have ever seen. This could be part of your getting hot issue. The water pump needs to be over driven in a high ambient high performance application along with a quality high flow T stat.
What diameter are your crank and water pump pullies?
I hate electric fans, never found one(s) that really worked.
Not sure of your experiences with electric fans but I have always run one and never had an issue once with 2 different engines and the second one has a pile of power. I think this applies to most people's issues on cars......they hope that a 19.95 fan will work in place of the 250 dollar one they really actually needed.
