trying to cool my z28's water temp...

i have a 1986 z28 with a fairly mild motor (sig) i'm trying to get it to run cooler, a few weeks ago it was running at 160 just about all the time when the weather was a bit cooler,but now that we're getting into this 80's stuff it'll run itself out all the way to 210 and it wont drop down, the fan is running all the time, i built a scoop for underneath, and have recently taken the thermostat out, now it'll stay down a llittle better but i'd like to be able to run with the thermostat in, if there's any tips on how i can do so relitivly inexpensively let me know thanks!!

red line watter wetter. if that does not help i would check your timing cause if i put my fan on all the time mine only gets up to like 180 in 100 degree weather. if that does not work then check your radiator for dead spots and if its more that 30% of the radiator replace it with a new one.

I agree Redline Water Wetter is a great product that really works. It should bring down your temps like at least 10*.
