pro blends 40 below question

okay i need help, just like everyone on here that has an over heating system and needs to keep it cool. i know of some stuff by pro blend called 40 below. i actually posted about this something like 8-12 months ago with no responses. im asking again because when i last tried it i found out that the problem was a lack of blocking the sides of the radiator. i thought that fixed my problem and actually ran well for some time. now i am plauged with a very hot running rx7.
i can get a few bottles of 40 below and unless i get some help ill end up being the guineau pig for the project. my temps are cruising up well over the 220F range and i have to pop the heater on. keep in mind this is night time. i havent even dared to really drive it during the day. i need help and i really dont think evans is in the budget right now. there has to be something more i can do without spending large amounts of dough

You have a problem you need to fix...radiator, water pump, thermostat, oil cooler...etc. Don't look for a cure in a bottle.

nice way to put it. just a band-aide on the problem. im going to look on the car tomorrow and see if maybe, maybe some of the filler(copper pipe insulator) worked its away from the sides of the radiator. its a koyo btw. i need it to stay cooler. one thing i dont get is how people can road race the cars in the heat, and i cant take it out for a daily drive. WP should be new with the reman, thermostat was new 10K miles ago(i replaced it with every single coolant hose), oil is mobil1 syn, changed every 2K miles(im ****).
