Head Cooling Mod is a must, unless you want the head tick problem.

Edit: These cars run really hot. When I drive my car for a long time I can actually feel the lower part of my legs getting really hot and start burning. You can also feel the heat coming out of the AC vents. This will usually all go away if you do the head cooling mod, tanks, new rad, and heat exchanger. All brands are good like Afco, Steeda & Fluidyne. Fluidyne seems to be the most money but I really like the quality of the parts they put out.
