At what temp is the "Low Temperature Thermostat" fully open? If the termostat only opens at a lower temp and doesn't lower the fully open temp, you're car will only take longer to warm up...

I concur with Mahjik, sounds like you need to do some custom ducting to get fresh air from the front or bottom of the car to the radiator and the hot air coming off the IC out of the engine compartment (vented hood?). You might also consider a different bumper...
