Soo what are the options for this, other then Meth which I def dont wanna get involved in?
Yeah, I wouldn't want to get involved with meth for engine cooling either. Good call.

You could run a 80/20 Mix of distilled water to coolant, with a bottle or 2 of water wetter. That would reduce both engine coolant temp, as well as oil temps. This would be the most economical "mod", and you are going to get the biggest bang for your buck. If you not tracking your car on a regular basis, you really should not need to have any additional cooling beyond this.

I think the ECU goes into overtemp at 280 deg oil temps.
