Just some elementry things to consider: What are the pulley sizes, are you possibly underdriving the waterpump? What is the total ignition timing that you are running? Does the lower hose have an internal spring to prevent it from collapsing when it gets up in the RPM range? Lastly, any possibility of partial clogging of the radiator, and is the radiator LARGE enough?? Is the gauge accurate?
