Re: Supercharged 91 z28 350 overheating

I read in one of the posts in thirdgen that placement of the intercooler (I'm assuming you have 1or 2) if blocking airflow to the rad can cause further overheating problems.
I myself will be installing a Procharger within the next 2 weeks and am anticipating overheating probs myself, since my car statrs to overheat at idle now.
