[QUOTE="MalcolmV8, post: 15388254, member: 8854"] Remember this was a really hot day. I don't think there's much of anything wrong with the car. I've owned it since brand new so fairly familiar with how it behaves in hot weather. Certainly doesn't hurt to check radiator fins and a/c condensor for clogging etc. I typically only drive in fair weather so the car's really clean in that respect. Honestly all the heat appears to be coming from that Whipple turning hard and constantly compressing air and generating a ton of heat. I seem to recall back in the ported eaton days, about 10 years ago, seeing 220F coolant temps driving home from work in mid summer was not uncommon. So seeing 240 now with a killer chiller and a whipple dumping a ton of heat doesn't seem like much of a stretch at all. BTW radiator is not 12/13 years old. Stock unit sprung a leak a few years back, switched to a heavy duty unit since stock ones were discontinued and then about 3 years ago I scored a brand new old stock from a warehouse and got a brand new OEM radiator.
