Guess your car was used to sucking in all that heat from the m90. What temp is your fan set to come on ?

A stock 192° thermostat would be barely open at 160°. Plus, you know the richer the fuel...the cooler the temps. The leaner ...the hotter.

We know you know all these things.

The restrictor shouldn't have a big affect on coolant temps in the block. I've run one for years and never had an issue with over cooling....also didn't have an issue without one.

Glad the trip to work was successful... Now, jump on 95 and come up here to Maryland.

Oh...that's right...there's salt all over the place up here.... I'll settle for you driving up here after you put a m122 on that thing. That should be about April

Fan never came on Scott, set to trigger at 200*. AFR lean at around 15-16 cruise. Weird thinking thermostat stuck.

I can't think of another reason, Steve. That thermostat has to be stuck open.

Agreed, however i am having too much fun driving the car. Two days in a row this has been driven to work. Drives fantastic save for the very touchy low speed throttle.

Cardboard over 1/3 of the radiator got the car to drive at temp. Thermostat here we come.

I need A set of baffled valve covers. The ones I have seemed to like to leak oil, it's frustrating.... I will never get the oil issue under control without a different set...

I figured I'd ask before I buy. Anyone got some on a shelf or should I look to ebay?

Oem or aftermarket?
I still got the ones you sold (gave me, I still almost feel guilty) but you can't have them back (?) Unless they will work, we can talk about it

Now you know why the mid and late 60's cars had a progressive throttle on multi carb cars... A little change in accelerator position makes for a big change in airflow.

I have gotten used to it now. I need to add another spring on the linkage to make the pedal a tad firmer and it will be perfect.

Well on the stock covers only the passenger side with the oil fill is baffled. I would need two stock filler covers and then remove the necks from them... or just spend fidy bucks on an eBay set....

I may take the easy road on this one.

Awesome Steve! I think you hoping for 375 whp is a little low, you should easily be over 400 whp IMO. Cars looking good, I hope you see more than 10 psi with a pulley change. What are your ACT's?

Act stay around 180 under boost, but will climb fast if below 2500rpm.

With the meth the temps don't rise but they don't drop either... I just got the larger #10 nozzle in the mail the #7 was too small I believe.

I wanted 14psi but the way this blower snout was designed a 3" pulley is about the smallest I can get without shaving it.

I did the math a 2.9" should give me 12-13psi

I planned for it, the compressor is in place. I need to get all new parts for the system and will likely need custom lines made. But I fully plan to put AC back on this car.
