What I did to my 100-6:  Re-cored rad., rad shroud around fan (BCS), BCS
themostat, frontt rad shrouds to direct air, water wetter, riched
mixture, played with timing- all with little effect.  I put on the Moss
motors tropical fan (recalled because one failed) and it made a HUGE
difference.  In traffic I put on the biggest electric fan that I could
fit on the X- brace and now in traffic I also run cool.  Now, at highway
speeds the electric fan did restrict the flow some when off and it gets
a bit hotter, but if I turn it on (installed by a switch) it drops down.

So what worked for me: Moss tropical fan (six blade)- if you can find
one, and the electric fan for traffic.
