Not Ranked
Running Temp
Ok I can give you 2 experiences. The first not so good the second much better.
I had a 557 which never ran cool even when it was 60 out. No matter what I did. So when I took that out and built a 501 mild cam I changed a few things.
I made sure the builder understood the temp issues and the cramped space. I have a Mezeire hgh flow electric water pump. With a 160 t-stat and holes drilled in it. The car has been running so cool that I am considering moving up to a 170. On the highway with no fan on I run at 160-170, in trafiic I move to 180 with the fan on and it does not go up from there. In the dead heat of the summer the hotest I saw was 200 in bumper to bumper traffic for about 30min.
