I'm stump guys...
During stop and go traffic or from stop light to stop light my temp progessively gets hotter and hotter. Here's what im running.... 440 stroked to 500. edelbrock rpm 84cc heads. edelbrock pro flow fuel injection with 44lb injectors. timing 32 degrees and im running 50/50 91 octone and 100 octane fuel. bumped total fuel curve up 20%. water pump is a meizere 55 gpm electric water pump and i have 2 12in 2300 cfm electric fans in a shroud across an aluminum radiator. compression is 11.3:1... i get up to 215 before i start shutting things off.radiator cap has been pressure checked and holding and no block fill. i am also running a 180 high flow t stat. no pinched hoses. am i missing something to keep it cool.
 
I would check your fans, put a credit card on the corner of the radiator core with the fans on, if it does not stay, your fans are not pulling enough air. i switch to fans made by Be-Cool #BCI-75007 from Summit racing. They put out 2780 CFM. Solve my getting hot problem in traffic.
