I think retrofitting water/meth injection in some form (oe or aftermarket) is the best bet for how hard you push your car.
I also think, as you mentioned, better heat extraction out of the engine bay would definitely improve overall cooling.
As always, sweet build and even better write ups detailing your experiences.

Appreciate the input. I'd love to pull data to compare temps with a stock non vented hood versus a vented hood. From what everything is pointing to, I believe IATs are an issue in my case. But once the datalogger arrives this week, I will report back and confirm.
