Next time it gets hot (220 ish) keep the peddle mashed. (or whatever your doing. Drop the windows and turn the heat on full blast. i can drop temps just by doing that down to 205 in a matter of seconds. Its amazing how much cooler it gets with that added cooling capacity.
its common being supercharged and pulling a heavy load on a hill at times.
BUT being supercharged you have to remember that this is probably caused my lean conditions and high EGTs. its a good way to burn a piston or valve. I keep and eye on my AFRs. That window drop and high heat is a great way to drop temps without slowing down.
