Living in similar temps as you, I spent about $4300 in cooling alone, not including methanol injection. This included the GTM radiator, shroud and fan upgrade, baffled oil pan, and two 19 row oil coolers with labor factored in.. a methonol injection kit is very optional. You can use it to cool your intake charge as well as tune for some extra power. It's not cheap though and the Stillen kit won't be pushing big numbers like the GTM kits.

Of all the things that is recommended, the radiator is your weak link since you have an oil cooler. We aren't saying you have to buy GTMs, (it's by far the best) but at a minimum, spending $600 for a CSF radiator. is a very good idea.

I have not had the chance to log my water temps, but even with two 19 row oil coolers, my temps have climbed up to 105℃ and that was just driving hard on the street or dyno.
