Lone Star Cooling problems
I've got a LS427 with a fairly radical 428 FE in it. Since I've owned it the car has a tendency to run hot in bumper to bumper stopped or near stopped traffic. I was running the typical LSC provided Spall non-shrouded electric fan behind the Griffin aluminum radiator. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's the garden variety 2ea 1" row Griffin. In the search of "the perfect cooling" setup I went with Flex-a-lite's new shrouded fan set up. It's the one that moves more air than any of their other models... so they say. Now the friggen car runs hotter at idle than it did before! It boiled over and blew steam all over everything this weekend and it was only in the 70s.. I'm also running am Edelbrock aluminum water pump. The fan's getting full voltage and running in the right direction. I'm at a loss... At this point in time I don't care what it costs I just need a cool Cobra..
