My radiator's getting worn out. The fins are smashed, coming loose, and it's clogged up with bugs. I'm thinking to get a dual core radiator, as my goal is to keep coolant in the 190's range, without going over 200, and the dual cores have a higher capacity for keeping a more even range. My concern is with it getting to 190 early enough but think this won't be an issue, as I can get there currently in 3 miles with grill blocks.

The honda has a 190 degree thermostat, which is perfect, so I'll replace it with a new one that's the same.

However the temperature switch turns on the fan at 185, before the thermostat even opens, which seems quite redundant to me, as once the temperature reaches 185, the fan stays on for the rest of the trip. I think a 194-203 switch would be better, as the fan wouldn't come on at all until the temperature reached 203, and would go off again at 194. Ideally I can regulate the temperature with grill blocks, the temperature will stay in the 190s range, and the fan won't ever come on.

Let me know your ideas and suggestions.
