So i was coming home from work the other day, the day that started this heat wave and my car started overheating. after pulling over numerous times to let it cool i got it home. So today i flushed all the coolant out and switched from dexcool over to the good ol green stuff. also changed the thermostat. car ran good after, but took it down route 9 and it slowly went up in temperature until it was way up there, about 230, 240. What could be causing it to overheat? It does start to bog and lose power so im going to check the cat to see if its clogged but else could be wrong with it? im still on a stock tune with an lt4 hotcam, could that have anything to do with it?
