Jimacuda, great point on a scoop. Yes it does have one and I've tried it while driving. Went the 3 miles with it (plug in) in then after sitting the 3 miles back I took (plug out) it out and still climbed in temp. Thought more air might cool better but it did not seem to help!

If the scoop isnt connected to the aircleaner...sealed...your letting air in under the hood thru the scoop that SHOULD be going thru the radiator to cool it...and isnt.
It isnt your only issue but its part of it. A bigger part than you may think.
Plug your scoop and get the water pump pulley overdriven.
Simple changes first. This stuff gets wayyyyy overthought.
