What bumper are you running? It could be as simple as not enough airflow to the rad. With the intercooler and condenser in front of it you need to get as much air to it as possible. That's why you see some people cutting holes in their bumper.
Make sure the fins on your condenser aren't all bent up. If its beat up with a lot of bent fins it will stop a substantial amount of airflow to the rad. Get a comb and straighten them out
Make sure your rad hose(s) aren't collapsing under acceleration.
Under drive pulley's are the devil, ditch them if you have them.

Just throwing shit out there for you to check.

Thanks lol. Well if fans are a issue and have a pusher hell why not try it. Just saying lol. Longblock was assembled by machine shop so I'm supposing they did it right. I will double check that in the morning.and thanks ill check the fins etc.
