is that normal for it to get that hot?like the temp gage gets pretty highwhile the car is sitting.

It should normally be at the middle of the gauge. If it fluctuates between driving, then start with the basics, check for air pockets, stuck thermostats, bad water pump, or clogs in the whole cooling system.

What size intercooler you running? I did a fluidyne conversion on my coolant and that really helped a lot. I would do as the other guy said though, check water pump, air pockets, that kinda stuff. Your stock coolant system should be able to keep it where it is supposed to be. Fluidyne is a nice upgrade, but not needed by anymeans.



***edit***
What sort of engine management are you running?

Update your profile, I understand TOO MANY TO LIST, but suck it up and do it. How are we supposed to give you honest opinions if you won't share the appropriate info?

Was going to mention fans... Are you sure both of your fans are working correctly? I know its a stupid question, but it might be that simple.....
