Ur car will want to run hotter with the ac on... thats why the factory makes the second fan come on when running the ac... because the first fan is not sufficient.

The weather doesn't seem to matter. I've had the car start warming up passed 185 and slowly keeps escalating (I don't let it go passed 210) at expressway speeds with 80° weather outside at night. I can understand a hot running car during the day when its 105°. It tends to cool down once I come down to idle. Both fans are on at 185°. First one on at 175°. All of this with the a/c off.

This is strange typically cars with cooling issues run warmer at idle due to decreased airflow, once you hit highway speeds though temps should drop. Here's the exact opposite where car runs cooler at idle because of reduced load I suppose. I would assume air dam on fans lower new water pump and all of the other upgraded parts should have resolved the issue. I'm typically running at around 190-210 depending on weather stock thermostat stock fans but an EWP and a 3 row all aluminum "race radiator". Figured these cars were designed to run warmer than most so it's okay. When I first got the car it had a 160 degree thermostat and it never got above 180 but then it failed and in a pinch I just bought a stock one. Interesting issue you got here.

As much as it doesn't seem likely to be the issue, especially with new parts, it's screaming water pump. Either cavitation or bypassing at higher rpm. Did this issue arrise after the wp upgrade? I see it daily, new parts can be bad.

Make sure the splines on the water pump drive aren't stripped.

It had the same problem on the old water pump, but I could feel the bearing on the pump a little loose already. Splines are fine, This new pump just helped it run I a little bit cooler.
