crank ur car up and go look at the bottom hose and pull the throttle some i can see mine trying to colapse a lil at about 2k rpms....they make the hoses with the coil in them so this doesnt happen seems to be a problem for us...

Re: running hot need help
did u have 10 to 1 compression on your old car.
ive got 10.8 to 1, i just started going around the block on mine and it seemed to go above 200 pretty quickly. i think im gonna get a bigger fan, i have enough room so why not. i changed the thermostat to 160 (from 180) and it seems to stay in the middle for a longer while. but i dont know, thinking of maybe playing w/ tha timming abit
