Default civics running turbo h22's, cooling issues?

For those of you guys running turbo H22's in your civic, do you have any cooling issues? Are you guys on the stock rad or did you upgrade to an aftermarket piece? If so, which one? Any thermostat or rad cap modifications? Water wetter or any addidtives in the coolent?

hmm I'm still not sure what to get... For 1 thing I'm in tx and +90 degree summers are not uncommon. And getting stuck in rush hour's stop and go traffic can cause a lot of strain. on the cooling system. out of the fluidyne, pwr, koyo (all aluminum one) and C7r, which ones are 2 row? 3 row?

do you have any problems idling for long periods of time? I know that as long as your moving you'll be fine, but I'm worried about the 100 degree summers of texas and rush hour stop and go
