Default Camaro over heating

I just installed my custom procharger kit on my car with a huge front mount. I have a all aluminum double pass radiator if dual electric fans (3000 cfm). The car is over heating to 240'F? Does any one else have a front mount on there car and have this problem or not? I have tried taking out the thermostat and put in a reducer. the water pump is a stock pump.
Thanks Eric

I would check the head gaskets and intake manifold gaskets before anything else. Especially if we're talking about a V6...which I doubt because I've never heard of anyone putting a procharger on a V6...

So it'd be helpful to know what kind of engine you have.

Then again, I'm just a newb anyways, I don't think I can help very much, but this'll at least bump up your thread.

Its a 89 camaro with a 350 in it bored 40 over. Also it has a blow through carb on it. Just to add the car run jsut fine last year and had no problem with over heating before I put this kit on. The fans turn on at 180 and turn off at 160.
