True, but it's also true that you can't make power without heat. So I guess that means that heat is the "enemy of engines" but the friend of horsepower?

Whoa...hold on there...you're going to "road race" this car too? This is the first time you mentioned roadracing in this thread. If you're going to seriously roadrace too, then sure, you might be able to take advantage of some cooling system and suspension upgrades. This is one of the reasons I was asking those questions earlier. If you don't answer it, please don't expect accurate advice. Here it is again:

The oem cooling system is very good. In other words, no (given everything else we've discussed in this thread for your application & setup).

You'll only blow your engine if you run too much boost on pump gas. Upgrading your radiator (for example) won't prevent that...

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
