your DE cams won't cause your car to overheat,The CA16DE cams suppose to give you couple extra hp, but personally I didn't notice any hp increase on my car, Stock cooling system? What do you mean with that? are you refering the water pump, radiator, coolant fan, etc.. they are usually pretty good and reliable, and if they are bad, you can replace them with of the shelves parts.

The stock system does just fine. I have electric fans and ive never ran them ON while driving around town. I only turned them ON if I was going to be in traffic for a while. I could let the car sit for 15 minutes and it would never over heat with the fans OFF.

I'm using the stock system. I don't even have a mechanical or electric fans. All I have to do is run the heater and it's fine. Kinda suck now that the highs are in the 90's though. Maybe I should fix that....
