All good questions and advice. The only place I'd differ is in your coolant/water mixture. You don't want any more than 20% coolant. The front air dam is very important. It creates a high pressure area in front of the radiator, and a low pressure area in the en gine compartment. This helps force the air through the radiator, as well as assists in drawing the hot air out of the engine compartment. The shroud is critical as well. Does it ever boil over? How have you determined that it's reaching 220 degrees?
