after following all of woody's threads on this issue it is crystal clear that the oem h/e is to small and coupled with an inferior pump will cook the s/c in all but the coolest of climates.
while the supercooler mod may not be the first step in fixing this issue it should be considered a first mod and some of the best $ spent
juts my .02 and experience
You could be writing about my car with the exact same symptoms. The Johnson allowed me to go (no laughing) longer before the heatsoak set in but it still happened. Moved the HE higher into the airstream and that helped until the temps got high. With Super Cooler (Woody's idea) I ran my car so hard for so long that the SC bearing failed before any heatsoak problems appeared. I'd say the Super Cooler solved my heat problems!

Thanks for the plug Krazy!
