jacob80 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Hey guys, I'm a little worried about my temperatures, I hit 228 and I wasn't absolutely beating the living hell out of the car, just some hard pulls on the highway, mostly cruising though. Its as if once the temp goes up, it doesn't want to come down until I stop and let it idle and come down. Getting ready for a track day and want to see if I can either A) Bring down the temperatures somehow or B ) Confirm that these temperatures aren't threatening to the integrity of the engine. The car runs PHENOMINALLY! The only complaint I MAY have is that it feels pretty flat up top towards the 5k-7k rpm range, but nothing out of the ordinary per say. The one thing I do notice that might be causing overheating is the timing advance at cruise, which is around 31 degrees. I may or may not be on the right track, but other than that, I'm not sure what else to suspect.

I'm contemplating installing my new water pump, I still have the stocker '83 on there and it sounds as if its starting to chirp just a little bit. Thanks again guys!

jacob80 Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 Also, I have just done some research and will most likely be using distilled water with water wetter in the radiator, hopefully this will bring down the temperatures some.
