Default Cooling options

What are the cooling options for someone with force induction. I seriously in dire need of cooling temps because my car heat soak with a few minutes of driving in this 95+ heat.

What would remedy it? Im thinking of meth but dont want to be dependent on it for cooling/fueling. Bigger radiator, oil exchanger?

Perhaps the Katech 160 stat, the newer Z06 2" radiator, and a larger HX up front. I did the Afco and it seemed to do well while on the dyno for 3 hours. I am installing the Katech after having a 160 stat failure from another brand, and the 2" radiator tomorrow.

Lots of things you can do. Are you just street driving it or tracking it as well?

The 160 stat was my next thing to do. Just been seeing it fail so wasnt sure which brand to go with.

Is there like a a2w intercooler or a expansion tank thats being offered for the z06 that can work on the base?

Its a dd. Only do a few highway pulls every now and then. No track.
