Am I overheating?

I suggest bleeding the cooling system.

I too recommend to try to bleed the system. Does your heater blow very hot. If not you have air in your cooling system.

I dunno man, I have hot lapped before at the track in 80F and at the end at the top of 5th through the traps it maybe hit 205. I would do a thorough flushing of the coolant, replace and realllllly bleed it well. Find a huge incline, lol. Also, don't use water wetter or anything like that,just the Honda Stuff.

when I was a Honda tech I would raise the front of the car 2 feet that puts the radiator cap at the highest part of the system will make it easier like I said that aftercooler really slows the air down one thing you need is a low temp thermostat switch to kick those fans on sooner and an ap2 170 f thermostat

I have a giant fmic in front of my radiator and never see those temps. Bleed the system. It's a giant pita but once done the stock rad and fans work well for street FI s2k. Trust me your upgraded exchanger is not as big or thick as my fmic

i have same issues with my car, my fmic is decent sized but air can still get by the corners. when its 110 here my car runs about 205-208 with ac off and 215+ with ac on, thats on the hwy

got me a new shrouded fan setup and that seemed to help, but it hasnt been 110 lately either
