I could get a better fan, but I have lost faith in cheaper modifications that will help this issue. The car is completely fine on the street or strip even before I change things in effort of cooling. But in my opinion it won't be worth the money.

I was curious where you were headed as the big power would seem to put even more strain on the brakes and tires and the rest of the drivetrain.
IF I ever go hardcore, it will be to take weight out of the car and stay with mild(reliable) engine. Low weight just can't be overstated. Coyote in a light car would rock, e.g. a boss crate motor in something sub 3K lbs would be a killer combo.

I think big power can be had with these cars and survive the track. I am just nit willing to throw the $$$ at it in order to make it happen. If I were to go SC over again, I would try a VMP kit as they built it for open lapping so maybe it would perform better. But after experiencing it, I will cut my loses and go with what will work...not what may work.
I am not bitter about my decision, I tried it and loved this procharger. Heck, I wish I was a drag racer or a "show queen car" as this kit would be perfect for those applications. But for open lapping, it just isn't working for me. For the NA setup I am going for, 450 RWHP is definately doable.
