Default DAMN......I Keep Over Heating

I've been having a problem with my car over heating lately so I've decide to improve my cooling system greatly.

First I'm going to swap in a B-Series Rad and FAL twin cooling fans.

Anything I can do to keep my car's temperature down?
Also any gauges I can add to keep a better eye on how out my engine is? (exhaust temp, water temp, etc.)

Thanks in advance

make sure you have coolant/water in the radiator.

if u fill the radiator and after some time it does happen again, but the radiator is full then it could be your head gasket.

my car had the same prob only that it was due to my temp sensor not bein plug in. now my fan kicks in and its all gravy, but when it hits 90's around here and i drive pretty far, the temp does get bout half way, and its good to have an temp gauge, i have one, far more reliable then ur stock cuz u know the degrees and such. late
