I bought a triple pass radiator to cool my 496 engine. Well at idle I'm good. But at highway speeds it gets 220+. It's closed loop, reservoir can, no air pockets, great airflow, flowkool water pump, robert shaw 180 and 160 thermostat, with and without shroud. Only thing I can think is the water stays in radiator longer due to triple pass radiator which caused it to stay in engine longer, gaining more heat. Does anyone here use a radiator that is no more than 2-1/2" thick core, 26" wide, either brass or aluminum, that cools off engine making a touch over 600hp in 115+ outside air temps?
