But that's a mechanical clutch fan and you should have electric fans that can turn on sooner. Try the 160 and see how it runs. You need a restriction to slow the coolant flow, but you may still have another issue like too much timing or clogged passages. And don't even try to compare to a 93-97 LT1, they are reverse flow cooling so it's a totally different scenario.

ok i will try that tomorrow. definitely no clogged water jackets, when me and my buddies took the motor apart over the summer to replace the head gaskets checked all of them, they were clean.
