I am not running any heater hose or bypass hose. If you sit and let it idle it will go up to 180 to 200. I checked the upper hose with a pyro meter and the temp was within 5 degrees. Should I try a higher thermostat or switch to an under drive pulley on the water pump? The water pump is an Edlebrock Victor pump. Here everyone is having an overheating problem and I am just the opposite!
