[QUOTE="OutKast, post: 13542393, member: 42482"] Since no one else has said it; flush the cooling system, flush it really well. This has really helped mine. All cooling is stock, and it made a huge difference. Also remember, make sure you don't add any more antifreeze than necessary. I think we need right at 50/50. Antifreeze is needed for corrosion protection, but is not really good at extracting heat. Although I have not done it, since I have not had issues since the flush and fill, you could run 60% or more water just for the track, then get back to 50/50 for normal use. I also added water wetter to reduce the surface tension of the coolant mix, which should help with heat extraction. This goes for the supercharger coolant as well. I tried this route first to avoid buying new parts that may not be needed. And, definately remove the hood inserts from the vents, pulling the hood insulated cover also should help. [/QUOTE]
