Body:
I suggest trying to get that GT to run a tad cooler...I know you said you've tried everything but I'll give it a try: -160* thermostat, -Aluminum big core radiator, -Proper fan...make sure the factory clutch fan is working or if you've switched to electric...make sure it is working properly...IE coming on at the right temperature. Also, make sure you have a shroud and that it is set up right...the shroud helps direct the air. -Get a high flow waterpump or make sure the one you have is working properly, -Make sure you have good hoses, -If you have pulleys...try putting the stock ones back on...sometimes people have cooling and charging problems with pulleys, -Good tune up...(last resort)...another last resort is to make sure there is good airflow through the drill to the radiator. That's all I have...Hope that helps...you've probably tried everything I mentioned but if not...good luck.
Take Care, Mike
