My OE radiator needed to be cleaned and I decided to swap in the Fluidyne for extra cooling w A/C. My wife won't get in the car during the summer unless I run the A/C.
I'm using stock thermo.
Maybe I was mistaken but I believe sitting in traffic with the.AC on the fluidyne radiator got up to 227 which is marginally better than stock.

I like to use the air conditioner. Combine that with a hot humid summer day in traffic 227 and rising is not where I want to be.

I have a under drive water pump so that does not help.

I went with a champion three core unit. Should be here and in soon.

Also looking at upgrading the cooling fans if need be.
