Those numbers are awesome. Car looks great too. Post the dyno graph!
300 at the tires ought to run much better than 13s.

You can clean it , BUT I would not trust it , the cleaning will just introduce a lot of new weak spots sure to blow a lot sooner . Best practice is to re-core , better that breaking down or cooking a motor a few weeks or months later , cheaper in the long run . They even sell replacement rads online a a decent price .BTW, back in the 80's I had a few rad shops tell me you can NOT clean a plug rad, only can re-core it. If overheats at high speeds, its a clog rad. If its from 1968 its clog, I don;t care if there is only 30,000 miles on it, its freaken old.
Needs a new or re-core rad but could try to just remove the t-stat but I don't know. I used to drive to big rapids for college in the 80's. Car needed a rad also, it be ok for about one hour, then its going to get tricky. Gas stations used to have hoses in back, I would pull off and spray the rad down to cool it off, lots a fun..did help to drive slower, like 60 and not 75
Shroud will help more in the city . Did you check the cap , maybe the thermostat is bad ? Should not run hot on the highway . There is a rubber gasket under hood up near front , do you have that on your car ? Think it helps keep air going to rad instead of over it between hood and top of rad tank, every bit helps
Ran my car in city and highway yesterday , was 95 degrees ran cool ,almost same setup you have except the shroud , stock rad and clutch fan ,190 thermostat , do you run plain water or mix of anti freeze water ?
