I spec every n ever made will run 230 run hard with out a fan shroud and not over heat. I spec thats why a temp gauge was not installed at the factor,,,, all of'em would have come back for heat'n,,, what folks don't know want hurt'em. Water absorbs the heat and good old air takes it away,,, fan shroud helps channel the air threw the rad were the heat has been sent to b dispensed of. Make sure you have a tight fan belt,,, keep a eye on the temp,,, 230 is border line but not overheat'n if you have the proper coolant mix,,, it may spit a little coolant out the over flow but not blow it out,,, you mite even here it gurgle like a upset stomach,,, stop let it run 3/4 to full throttle it should start to cool down,,, make sure the rad fins are not stopped up.,,, when I see 230 I either take some of the load off by take'n less of a cut,,, stop and check for a restriction on the front of the rad,,, or pull under a shade tree and run'er till the temp comes down to 200,,, go at it again. I don't have a shroud either,,, need one tho,,, seam es i sell'em before mine gits one,,, I spec a shroud would help. I have not seen a problem and had mine at 245 but did not chance it and stopped to cooler down. I don't run a grill screen but need to,,, it is not heat'n at 230 nor does pressure make a difference on a N if you have the proper coolant mix,,, keep a eye on it and git a shroud. Pat yerself on the back,,, most would not pay 230 enny mind,,, 230 is borderline safe,,,. I like it when a customer comes in and says my car is heat'n,,, I question them and they say the temp gauge normally does not run past X but now its git'n to were it runs way past X,,, usually it has not heated nor will heat but has thrown up a flag that sum'in with the cooling system is failing,,, they usually git out cheap,,, keep a eye on it in case something is failing,,, if you stop and run the engine and the temp comes down,,, run it git a shroud and make sure the belt is tight and it has the proper coolant level.
