I'm going to start a new job next week that will have me driving all up and down SoCal about 3 or 4 days a week. I want to do some upgrades/mods that will help keep the engine and everything running good after putting a LOT of miles on it. So far I've only thought of a performance radiator to keep it running cooler, around $500. What else should I consider???

Hi Octane
Hey... I also do a lot of driving and yes definately the best thing for the car would be a higher quality engine oil, however oil coolers and radiators will not make much difference if any unless your car is overheating....
the best thing i can think of is using a higher octane fuel, where i live in australia a couple of companies provide 98 octane fuel which is not only better for your engine but will also give you a few extra kilometres/miles to a tank as the fuel is denser.
hope i could be of help!!
