thanks, I actually dont remember what temp it was. I happened to
notice that the fan does not come on. It was sitting there idling at
about halfway on the gauge, and the fan wouldnt ever come on. I
assume at this ppoint that is the problem It is amazing that it does
not run hotter than this with no fan...
I think somebody claimed the throttle body injector flows 500cfm(?)
how do yall supercharger guys get enough gas? (hehe, Ive got plenty
of gas...)I have a friend who has a mustang with a paxton and is up to
36 pound injectors,... well he is running 15 pounds of boost . Seems
the stock TBI couldn't put out enough gas to keep up with the
supercharger. just curious

What degree thermostat did you put in? Have an '86 Ram that did like
you
said used to never get off the cold line, then the t'stat went out so I
went to Autozone and got a 180 (Only one they had) after that it started
running at around the halfway mark and above, recently i stopped by Pep
Boys and asked them if they had a 160 degree t'stat for it they did so I
bought it and put it on, now it's back to never getting above the cold
mark again, so might try enquiring about a 160 for your truck, it worked
on the Ram (has a 318 in it like the Daks so I'm sure they have 160's
for
them also).....Worth a try anyway....
