Have you checked your cooling system lately to make sure it is functioning properly? Check the coolant flow (make sure radiator is not clogged), fresh coolant, cleaned the radiator fins...etc. I have never had my VX overheat even when sitting in traffic (or crawling along on the trail) and I am in Tucson where the temps hover in the 108 range in the summer. I am not SC'd but that shouldn't make that big of a difference.

Have had my VX through two Houston summers plus two Bullhead City summers. Houston matches your summers and Bullhead Summers make Tucsons 108 degrees look like a cold spell. I have never over heated so something must be wrong with your coolant system. Presure clean the front of the radiator to make sure there is no dirt clogging air flow, make dure thermostat is working and opening too circulate, check fluid levels of course, I would have a shop boil your radiator or it may be cheaper to buy a new radiator, I also use water wetter it helps my sports car with a tiny radiator handle 120 plus degrees it was not built for.

Thanks guys. I'll remove it. As far as my cooling system, everything checked out fine. I've been fighting this problem eversince I got the sc. I never actually overheated, but the temp gauge gets a little over 3/4s. So far the only thing that has helped has been switching to distilled water and little antifreeze with some water wetter. And the supercharger makes HUGE difference in temps. And our roots blowers are the worst of them all and increasing heat
