one more thing,i ended up getting my black magic fan to work,i made new brackets for the rad support at the bottom and moved the rad forward and it works perfectly now,he said to run the stock fan set up?? its better??

The old black magic had issues . The extreme is much better . With my old motor and the clutch fan it didn't like to hold temp well at idle . At cruise it was awesome but it always crept at idle .

Same here. Black Magic Extreme really works well for me and my blower(6ish psi). With my stock fan I had same issue at idle, creep up the scale.

I set the stat to 190, she stays there. When I get on it, she will instantly jump but the fan brings it right back down quickly.

Another opinion for what its worth

thanks....well he "says" stock fan is the best?!....i know its not for my engine,so that i dont agree with....mine usually runs around the 195 mark with a 180 stat but does reach 200-210 (between there)when im stuck in 30-40 deg heat....but 160 never!,hes out to lunch there!

Uh oh. Definitely sounds that way unfortunately. And not trying to kick you while you're down but that's why you stay out of boost until you know the tune is correct. Sorry for your problems and cheer up. You'll have a badass fast ride soon.

Uh oh! After paying a G to a tuner you should have been able to push it for all its worth. I hope it didn't blow a head gasket. Bummer. Well if it did it should be on him as he did Not do his job. Sorry to read this man. Hang in there.
