Anything else I should really consider aside from a larger aftermarket radiator and altima dual fans? Any help is appreciated

ANOTHER THING THAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP KEEP BAY TEMPS DOWN. ( LITTLE MORE EXP BUT NOT BAD ) HEAT WRAPPING YOUR DOWNPIPE AND MANIFOLD, AND PUTTING A BLANKET ONT HE TURBO...ON A SIDE NOT IMPORT TUNER DYNO PROVED THE BLANKET GIVES YOU A FEW MORE HORSES

TIS TRUE IT WILL NOT REALLY HELP OVER HEATING BUT IT WILL KEEP ENGINE BAY TEMPS DOWN WHICH IS COMPLETELY OFF TOPIC. I WAS JUST ELABORATING ON THE POST ABOUT THE HEAT SHEILD. BUT YES RAD THERMO AND A GOOD FAN SETUP AND YOU WILL NOT EVERHEAT UNLESS SOMETHING IS BAD WRONG. ALSO DO A COOLING SYSTEM FLUSH IF YOU CAN.
