Just FYI to some folks, this is the car in my build thread. 330rwhp street car.

Basically I did what I was told to do like a good little noob.

What are some of the symptoms of your overheating? At idle, cruising low speeds, highway speeds, with certain loads on, etc? I can post a GM symptom sheet for you to fill out if you'd like

No issues when ac is off.

Well. You did what you understood you were told to do. Contrary to leftest thought, perception is not reality.

Post pics of your ducting. Specifically, is the FMIC blocking the flow to the radiator? Stated differently, does all the air going to the radiator have to first pass through the FMIC?

Re bold. Wat?
I was referring to the build specs. Still no idea what you're referring to or why it's relevant.

No worries, I can translate for you. Some people are incapable of bringing politics into every aspect of their life like it defines them.

He was saying, you did what you were told up to your understanding. It's possible you mis-interpreted what people told you to do OR you did not do it sufficiently. He would like to see pictures of what you did to double check that all your ducting to see if it's posing an issue.

Yes, that is the meat of it. The rest was banter.

Sorry let me clear this up. I haven't really done any ducting. I'll take some pictures in a bit and post here. Apologies in advance if it takes a bit.

I was saying that the build was me doing what i was told to with regards to the motor specs etc. That was in response to folks talking about a stock power car and hood vents.

Thanks again folks. Hope you and yours are well.
