now this may sound stupid but i'm going off some kind of science here...

pressure=heat, right

instead of replacing your radiator or getting a better heat exchanger why couldn't you put a valve on the coolant resevoirs that bleeds off pressure to reduce heat?

idk if this has every been done before, probly has but what do you guys think?

You're right, that was a dumb post... This is why... Water has much better thermal properties when kept under pressure.... The higher the pressure, the more heat it takes to get it to boil... Simple chemistry... Understand?
