Default stock radiator crapp??

How good will the stock radiator cool a motor, say, 302 h/c/i 125 wet shot, c4 trans with a 3800 stall, 373 gears? im posting for a friend, he has one of those good trans cooler's with a fan on it, replaced thermo with a 160, still overheats? but only while driving, idling it runs cool? stall too big? remember the tranny cooler is working fine.

also, he had a nitrous backfire prior to this, i was thinking blown head gasket, but everything else seems fine, no water in the oil. seems it started after the c4 conversion? could his timing cause this?

thnx for any help.
