checked fans again, flushed and drained all coolant and checked thermostat was opening, even with twin fans on switch they can't bring the water temp back down, booting it makes the water temp and oil temp go higher

so my conclusion the radiator is not getting the air flow it needs or could it now be running leaner because more cooler air is getting in???

is this normal? it was better with the ford intercooler on, its running 1 bar of boost, mfi,

please help
