cooling issue....custom car

[craig3x]

The problem actually seems to happen more often at cruising. I like the electric pump idea, but not $400 for it.
My radiator is mounted so that it does get a good ammount of air moving through it. Right now, I am using a black magic fan that is controlled by a switch on my dash. I pretty much leave it on the whole time except for warming the car up. I am using a 185 degree thermostat. Should I possibly remove it all together?

DJMTSU- can you explain what you were talking about with blocking off the water pump and using a high volume? How does it operate? pics??

Does anyone know if they make different pullies for the stock pump to increase it's flow?

I saw a set up on a drag FC once. Where the water pump mounts, he just had a plate bolted down. The electric pump was mounted on the fender, with the lower radiator hose going in one side, than out to the engine. It ran at a constant speed when the ignition was switched on. He said it was something he learned from Nascar school (for whatever that is worth), and the pump was available at Summit or Jegs.

But, listen to TT. He is one smart SOB. Get some serious ducting to that radiator, and upgrade to a thicker aluminum set-up.
