Keep your stock cap and put a new headgasket in to replace the one you just blew

If you live in a warm climate (I see FL) use 70% water and 30 Antifreeze. This helps A LOT!! I didn't really believe it until I did it about 2 years ago and it makes a difference. Water cools the engine better than antifreeze because of the better heat transfer. Fluidyne is the one that told me about this. I have a mugen thermostat with a Fluidyne radiator and Stant high pressure cap. Mine never goes above 180.
