I just got home from our trip and plan on looking into it soon. I was
pushing a 20-30 mph headwind on the way home today and noticed that my
water temp went up while increasing speed and my foot feed remained in the
same position? Could the coolant be traveling too fast at that rpm to
efficiently cool enough in the radiator? I figured less pedal=less fuel=
less heat? Possibly larger diameter pulley to slow coolant flow or add
another cooling implement? Does anyone know the approximate cfm of the
radiator fan? Possible upgrade there? Any tips are appreciated. Thanks
