When my engine's all built and running...I'd like to keep it cooler than the factory setup...I was thinking of getting a high-quality (like B-COOL) radiator and a lower temp. thermostat to ensure long life for my new engine. What do you guys suggest or is it not really a good idea at all for reasons I'm unaware of?

I'm not having probs at all. I just want to get my future build the best cooling option it could have.
If I get a bigger more efficient radiator...wouldn't I technically be able to raise the temp a bit with a higher temp. thermostat for more accurate tuning?? |

cold engine more friction and hence more wear on moving parts
