i would run water cooling...the way i look at it is if the cooling system is up to the job you should be ok...worst case scenario and if you are really worried...run water wetter (by radtec) as its a SUPERB product and helps BIG TIME on keeping engines cool...as well as that, a 82 degree thermostat and a lower operating fan switch all with help no end
