..or you can just wire them straight to a toggle switch and the battery with a relay tied into the ignition (so that they turn off after you turn off the car).
Is it overheating? Or are you just having cooling issues because of the large IC?

you can get a lower temp thermostat that opens at 180 degrees instead of 192. Are your fans just not turning on, or is it just getting hot for no apparent reason?

you will always tell.. because the car will stutter for a split second and it will most likely be when you are standing in traffic.

Have you checked the coolant level yet?
