So ...Barnsnake, you are one of those that don't understand.
Water boils at 100 Celcius or 212 F
RTSTRACK, The 160 thermostat that you have in now works like nothing more than a restrictor plate because at anything over 160 its open!! so the water is going through the radiator so fast....even faster with your HiPo water pump ,that it has no chance to cool down.
The temperature of the radiator IS CRITICAL, and needs to remain cooler than the engine so that it can cool the engine.What do you think cools the engine???????
The fans should only come on at speeds lower than 15-20 mph anything over that and the airflow from the forward motion of the car is more than the fans can supply.
