There are a lot of better, simpler and cheaper ways to improve cooling. Such improvements are necessary on a 30 yr old car and when done overheating becomes a distant memory.

By increasing the pressure on the system you can raise the boiling point of the coolant and keep the water in the system a little longer. It is something that was done a lot on Panteras in the early days and I did it also. These cars need better low speed air flow through the radiator and more coolant flow. If you are not making a lot of horse power, you won't need much more coolant flow or air flow than the stock set up. I also found that out with my car after I increased the compression and installed a larger cam.
