I'd use 50/50 coolant and the main thing to improving cooling is making sure that you have ducting around your radiator to keep air from going around the sides of it instead of through it.

ducting? can you buy it or home depot it? could you give me an idea of how to do it? thanks off to the search....

search revealed nothing. but i have been thinking...... uh ohhh

so if i "build a duct the start on the bottom edge of the radiator coming at a foward angle{similar to the stock intercooler} towards the front of the car. kinda coming up where my ac condessor used to be...or should it be under the radiator pushing the air up behind?

Basically something to make the air go through the radiator, not around. Charlie if you want, come on by, and I will pull the AC condensor out, since you don't have AC, no need for it, give me a call. Car's looking much better since you bought it from John.

My english not too good today. Need sleepy. I was trying to say that you want ducting to direct the air through the radiator and not let it go around it.
