Default What is THE secret to a cool car?

To All:

I live in Texas and the Humidity is often bad and it is hot 95 degrees + all Summer.

I have a good aluminum Radiator on it with a high output electric fan. The Cowl is tight on the radiator.

The System hold pressure.

The Thermostat does work and is a 195 degree.

I put Vintage Air on it.

I have a Mark VIII Fan for the Car, However it is too big for the current radiator and it cannot be made to seal correctly with the Cowling around the Radiator.

I cannot run the car without it trying to over heat. With the a/c on going down the highway at 60 mph the temp starts slowly creeping up 200, 205, 210, 220 etc. I shut off the a/c and it will go back down to 205, but very slow.

Do I need to run a Pusher fan also over the A/C condenser as well?

This just drives me crazy, and I really want to get it fixed once and for all.

PLEASE, what is the secret???

Any and ALL ideas gleefully accepted.

At some point I would like to run an LS7 and I damn sure don't ant this typw of problem with a super high dollar engine.

Is it better to run a thinner radiator so a Ton of air can be pulled through it, instead of a thick 4 core?

How do you Under Hood Turbo Guys keep your ride cool?

Thanks,

Sincerely,

Ty O'Neal
