Help solve overheating issue
1) I'm a huge fan of taking advantage of an easy recovery setup.
2) speeding up the engine helped it cool off.
3) Coolant ratio: 49%coolant 49%water 2%air bubble after opening the cap.
4) a lot of vehicles have cooling issues because the air isn't thick enough to cool the radiators.

2) What are the Diameters of your Damper, the Pulley you're using now, and the one you intend to use ?
3) "Maybe" at some point, you might try a 60a/40w% solution. There is a Tester for this, I think you are quoting volume, not % concentration.
4) Often times, a contributor to overheating is that the Fuel Mixture is incorrect for the altitude. Have you done a test for this ?

I haven't had time to touch it except for the day my wife took the keys with her to work, It shouldn't be too long before I can get back to it, but just in case it takes a couple weeks, I wanted to say thanks for the input so far.
I drove it again today and had a chance to investigate the cooldown process. I'm pretty confident it is water flow related because I sprayed the radiator (with the engine at 215-220 degrees) and the water just rand down the radiator, no sizzle, no rapid evap. The little bit of water that splashed onto the intake manifold sizzled agressively and evaporated very quickly. I'm quite confident this is working in conjuction with the vehicle running too rich.
I also took a quick measurement and my water pump/fan pulley is 6"
Without burning myself I'm pretty sure the crank pulley is 8"

What's this, about the 10th time you've re-registered here !

power-flusher. Many times gunk, or a rusty radiator hose spring gets
caught in the engine side, causing the problem you have now.
