I pretty much have the exact same set-up. Don't really know what else we can do beyond the IM gasket. I use 94 octane gasoline which we have up here and that is one way to minimize detonation.
Other than that, there is no other cheap way to reduce temps. THIS is the problem with the JRSC.
I am going to wire up my dry NOS kit and spray a light shot very much down the air box.

well I was thinking would a new fan switch, cooling plates, Aquamist Water Injection, etc etc
Just seeing if that stuff would be a waste of cash or not.
there's a shop in FL that custom builds a cooling system just for the JRSC. i'm not exactly sure how it's bolted on but i know that it has a heat exchange coil inside of it. you can find more info through him, John of LHT Performance.
www.lhtperformance.net his phone number is 941-344-1800. he does a lot of custom fabrications and stuff. i hope this helps.

water injection is your cheapest and best cooling aid. I say that because I have it and it works. I have ran my car intercoolerless (well aftercoolerless) without performance losses associated with heat. Even in humid hot days at the dragstrip! I have reinstalled the intercooler and am in the process of upping the boost! Water injection good.

water alky injection combined with hondata @ 11.5 psi in the california heat.....................no detonation here.
my personal opinion is, the more stuff you throw under the hood, the more problems you might have. like leaks. so i try to stay away from certain options. it's really personal preferrance i guess.

Hondata IM gasket, water wetter, JR thermostat, radiator cap, header wrapped is all I need for the hot AZ sun. Tune it a bit on the rich side up top if your worried about detonation. 91 octane sucks.
