Do you have an intercooler? Or an upgraded radiator? If not than it couldn't hurt to invest in those items.

Hmm, those have nothing to do with his problem. Sure, they might be more durable, but they won't cause him to overheat. The stock systems are able to handle LOTS of power.

Anyway, you are talking about your water temperature gauge, right? It could be your thermostat. Are you losing coolant? Check your levels and make sure you're not leaking anywhere.

How about driving in traffic? What happens then?
