The car will run hot if you keep the engine at a high RPM level. The stock water pump cavitates. The fix is to install underdrive pullies.
Don't kno why your header effects oil pressure...doesn't make sense. Perhaps you acccidentally disconnected the pressure sensor wire and it is shorting to the body of the car?
