greg would that be 160 at your pit area,i also have a aluminum griffin radiator and alum pump with a electric fan i turn the electric fan off during the run and turn it back on during the coast down.This is also a 14.1 motor.

I run the moroso drive with a separate electric fan. I too turn the fan off during the run.

one note of caution, I have the allen head set screw tha holds the pulley on the shaft work loose, so the water pump quit spinning. With no water is getting to the temp probe, it was almost too late before I caught the problem!

No that would be 160 @ the end of track! My car dosen't even read most of the time when I roll into the water box. I know alot of time by the time I get accross the scales my car is cool enough to make another pass!

Check for fan direction.Some are made to push air and some to pull.I had a heating problem and fix it with the right(or wright) set of directional fans.
