I have a 94 Taurus with a 3.0 single cam that I am entering into the Bomber class at the 2nd annual Morris Mountain Rock Rally.

I am experiencing some issues with the cooling system. Yes, the fan is coming on. High only when A/C is on. So I leave the A/C on. So far I have installed a new coolant temp switch. Installed new radiator. Drained and flushed cooling system. Installed the Blue Devil. It is still running hot! Performed a HydroCarbon test and shows no signs of head gasket leak in my tester. BUT I still am having cooling problems. I am going to try a new water pump out Monday.
It only get's in the red when I'm on it hard for about 5 minutes or more. It builds up pressure in like 45 seconds or less. I started out with a 16 pound cap and went down to a 13 pounder. It is not boiling over to the reservoir tank. First test run I pulled it back in the shop and opened the hood. Upper radiator hose was about to bust. It was swollen as big as my fist. The water pump seems to be pushing water though. Like I said it does not show signs of hydrocarbon in the coolant. When you take cap off and high rev it water shoots out of top radiator like a gisser. Any thoughts? Sorry I'm not the best at describing things.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated
Thanks,
Steve
