Damn!! I just started having the exact same issues with the same setup. I can run around town and not have any problems. The minute I go up a little pass, both motor and tranny heat way up very quickly. I do believe that it could have something to do with the intercooler's heat exchanger blocking the other coolers. I also might look into the idea of putting in a heat sheild since that left with the stock exhaust. I also noticed that the engine temp will immediatley jump to 220-230 range if I run the ac on a hot day. I have had many other s/c gm motors and they never ran hot like this one.

Fubar, what size radiator did you put in and has that completely solved your motor temp issues?

What do you guys think about putting in some sort of slotted insert in place of the black plastic one in the hood for more air intake? I think I saw one on an H2, but if I remember correctly, it looked like a retarded scoop Does the programming done to the pcm affect the temps at all? I know that the programming for the shift points/firmness could affect that side of things but what about motor temps?
