    To get more engine cooling, what if you wired the heater blower fan to work in reverse? It would draw air into the vents and blow hot air out of the cowl. You could wire a switch up to revert it back to normal. Am I a friggin genious or what?? :)

    Generally blowers don't work very well (at all) in reverse.

    However, if you get caught in traffic on a hot day, you can just turn the temperature to hot and the fan on max- that way, the engine will cool down a bit (although you might find yourself a bit sweaty, but who cares, the motor is more important)...

    Other suggestion:
    - Use RMI25 and distilled water instead of antifreeze
    - Use some water wetter
    - Get yourself a custom-built 5-core radiator
    - Combine mechanical and electrical fans on the radiator

    I've done this before! Thought I was gonna burn up, too!

    More expensive, anyway!

    I have to do the "heat on high, windows open" all the time with the regal.
