If you overheat on the highway then you may want to put the stock or even an overdrive pulley on the waterpump, otherwise you have a radiator issue.

I have a 94 GT with UD pulleys (not sure which brand), and my headlights dim at idle, especially when I have my subs on. I've never had any problems with it tho, cuz as soon as I get above 1k rpm the voltage jumps right back up.

I recently have been running a bit warmer than before, but I think thats due to never having flushed the coolant.
