what thermostat are you running? should be a 180degree,or put in some octane booster.Other than that maybe switch gas brands you could be getting some bad 92.

The best advice i could give you right off the bat is take apart your Mass Air Flow Sensor and clean it with alcohol and some q-tips. Otherwise, allow me to direct to this thread. Good readin... http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=567152

Do you have a real gauge to know how hot you are getting?
In town, is the fan coming on?

How old is the radiator? It might simply be old and clogged and unable to reject enough heat, esp when the temp delta (ambient to operating temp) is less, like it is in your heat. It causes a delta avg phase shift up.

BTW, welcome to the board! Good luck.
