I'll certainly look into some radiators and get another ones imput on the condition of mine. I been running that warm before and never noticed such a power loss and also my exhaust got really quiet. I don't have plates any more but I am confused about the sound.

Your radiator is in need of a replacement. Get a 3 core while you are at it.

Where do you guys reccomend I get a 3 core radiator? I just check out were my temp was it was just at the M or a bit above approximately half way up. I was doing multiple launches up to 5.5 thousand and going up to 3rd.

NORMAL My needle sits on the line above A and sometimes gets half way to M (L is on the bottom)
THis is in 100* weathing without sitting too long and without AC and at about 85-100% humidity in North-eastern Lousiana

I run a brass/copper 3 core with a 17" stainless flex fan btw. I would never have a 16 year old radiator with all that scale built up in it. Not a good thing, your fan clutch could also be wearing on you, the flex fan has nothing to wear (except early models in the 70's cracked blades and gave them a bad rep, i still have NO stress signes on mine).
