hey everyone,
i just finished a build of a supercharged Dart 331 with afr 185 heads and a comp cams nx274hr. everything on this motor is new and i have been experiencing some funny temp readings lately.
first, i have been running after market gauges for a long time including AFR, boost, oil pressure and water temp.
im VERY sure all gauges are working properly.
with that being said....
everything seems fine during warm up, the car reaches 180* and stays there.
however, during high revs ill let off the gas and allow the rpm to slow the car down. this is where the weird temperature readings start
druing decelleration the water temp cool down to about 150-160 degrees!!
i have a flex-a-light fan- if that matters.
i was thinking that during decelleration the fuel is cutoff (as we all know) and the high rpms allow the fan to pull in massive amounts of air, cooling the motor off while there is not much additional heat being created by bc of the fuel cut.
just wanted to know your opinions. none of my cars have ever done this before and thought it was worth mentioning. other than that car runs VERY well.
thanks
Eric
