What are you considering hot.? Where is your temp sensor located? Head temps will somewhat hotter than water temp. Head can be 205 and water will be 10 to 15° cooler. I have dual gauges on my chevelle one in the head and one in the manifold. The head can be slightly over 200 before the 190 sensor in the rad kicks in the fans. Also do you have any type of shroud on the radiator? A lot af air can bypass the radiator if not.
I bought a DeWitt for the chevelle I also have a cold case for my truck with dual fans and shroud but the truck runs cool with the factory setup. So If I install the BBC I had built for another project that went south I may install it then
