The C5 radiator is feed from below the front facia. The spoiler/splitter was probably not letting the air under the nose. Do you have an 'installed' picture of the spoiler/splitter?

Tuna-I think your right! It was blocking air. no I do not have pictures.but mounting locate was correct

If you installed an ACI splitter, you have to make sure to leave your center air dam installed so it can push air up into the radiator shroud.

Been there, done that!

I've had the ACI spoiler on mine for years with out the center air dam and have never experienced over heating.
