what do you think of doing:

2. separate the cooling system from the i/c sytem. free and turns a high pressure i/c loop into a low pressure loop cost FREE!
3. run an 80/20 mix with water wetter type product instead of 70/30 mix in the i/c coolant system. water cools faster than antifreeze
5. 180 tstat cost $100- not sure what this does please explain.?
6. -10 * fan mod. cost $50 this mod turns the fan on 10* sooner than oem to work inconjunction with the 180 tstat
7. complete fluid flush and rinse. then refill with 50/50 mix of m/b coolant and distilled water cost 25$
8. remove the rubber strip at the rear of the hood to allow heat to escape. - would this be a problem during rainy days on the underhood electronics and so on getting wet..as this is my daily driver? cost free! some remove the bottom pan as well but i kept mine as i noticed a lift in the front of my car in excess of 150mph

im just looking to have the power there when i need/want it i hate the fact that when i "hit the gas" the performance result is a coin toss.... im going to have the IC pump checked out..
