new header tank cap
stick with plastic header tank
fans inbetween rad and IC

prob more you can do but thats a start!

Could it be too much ignition advance/boost set up, as this heats the engine up far quicker/hotter when giving it some than one set up with less boost / more retard
All mine has out of that list is a decent standard rad, good water/antifreeze mix and a new header tank cap.

P.S Retarded ignition creates far more heat than advance Dave. You got that bit the wrong way round.
