My new mods and heat issues.

I have just installed a 3-row greddy IC, greddy aluminium radiator, apexi 240lt fuel pump, bonez dp, custom mp, top fuel cat-back, removed the airpump, double throttle, converted to non sequential, removed the non needed solenoids and vacum hoses.

I already had PFC, Blitz boost controller, temp,press,boost gauges. Before the 3-row the cruising temps i was reading on the commander were 85C. Max temp when idle or traffic in our hot summer was 92C. Now after the 3-row installation, the cruising temps during the day are 99C, at night they drop to 87C without load on the engine but as soon as i put some load they rise to 95-96C.

Is this normal with the 3-row or something is wrong with my car?

normal. you just blocked about 50% of the air opening in the bumper. keep temps below~100c, and don't do driver-ed track events.
