I am looking long term, real deal that doesn't require me to disassemble the car ever time I hot lap it...which is why I just want to go straight to the radiator option. I can limp it through this weekend taking it easy, but I think fans, thermostats, and coolant additives are just short term solutions.
Your really going about this the wrong way. Remove the fogs do a little ducting work. A radiator is only as good as the airflow its getting. Take out the fogs and i guarantee you will be surprised. There is a reason why the boss 302s has the mesh instead of fogs. I fail to see how removing an engine cover and underhood trim ect is gonna help. Get a different hood with vents to vaccum air from the engine.
