Default keepin it cool in the hot summer months

went up the local canyon a couple of days ago and i came to the conclusion that i should probally have a bigger radiator or oil cooler.

how would i achieve getting my hands on a system that brings my temps down a good amount??

and some guy at the top of the canyon introduced me to this system that sprays a combo of alchahol and windshield-washer fluid onto the cylander head, and or, the oil cooler to atomize that heat.

anybody know what this is?? and is it available for my car?

i live in so-cal, its like 105 every day for 3 months

haha. I havent had any thunderstorms either. Its been liek 90-105 the past 2 weeks and i hear it may be lasting a while longer. The thing that is teh worst is the humidty we are having. I think u should get a FMIC and maybe a electric fan kit. BUt most important make sure u have alot of collant and keep an eye on ur temp gauge.
