dual core radiator but what kind of fan setup?
sounds like an airflow issue if it's getting hot while driving.
check make sure your radiator isn't blocked or air in the system.

also where you located because 50/50 isn't always great on built cars more like a 80/20 water/coolant or 70/30..

I live in Ohio and I'll try the 80 20 but I do have a huge intercooler blocking the radiator well most of it and it's just an eBay special
