i have a 20% gm dexcool/80% water mix.i'm aware that 210 is decent and that modern gm engine most of them are optimum at 210 to 225 degrees but this thing climbs up to 210 in minutes and i am afraid to take it to cruises like this in fear of it getting hotter its not even that hot up hear yet.I think one of my issues is the car is to lean and i will mess with that tonight.one thing at a time that way it will be easier to pin point.right? thanks guys for the info i let you know if the temp changes by richening the carb.
