I also put on a pusher fan, in addition to a multiblade flex fan on the 
motor.  The pusher turns on at about 190 and pretty much keeps the temp 
there at any speed.   I drove back from a Napa wine tasting tour with the 
car club and it was close to 95-100 degrees outside.  No overheating and the 
temp of the engine stayed pretty close to the 190-195.  My feet loved the 
change.  The last time I drove in temps that hot, the car ran close to 210 
and hit well over that when ever you slowed down to a stop sign or light. 
Then my toes felt like toast!!!

I also have a metal plate under the front opening to keep the air from going 
under the radiator.  That has been there for a few years and I never really 
notice much improvement from that modification.
