I would say leave the system alone for now
Flush the cooling system, add new coolant, water and rp ice and he will be fine...

Smaller pulley?????? WTF

holds more fluid. a smaller crank pulley for lower boost= less heat if your just driving around town.

i have a lightning and of course with the eaton it came with an intercooler
u think i should get a big heat exchanger or just duals????
i live in florida and it gets pretty hot and humid
also, how do u properly flush your coolant system???
last week i unscrewed the plug at the bottom of the radiator and let it drain out and stuck the hose in the radiator reservor and flushed it from there
next day, its the same nasty *** rusty color it was b4
wtf
i put in all new coolant and water 50/50
also, when i screwed in the plug, as some of u know, its made from a cheap *** plastic and the end snapped off so now the plug is stuck in there
how do u get it out since there isnt any thing to grab now???????
the end nut part was snapped off, its so delicate
