Any of you RWD guys with front mount intercoolers have any problems keeping the car cool?

I haven't had much problems with mine, and I'm on a Koyo OEM replacement radiator and no ducting. I'm running a clutch fan w/ the shroud too.
Mods:
SR swap w/ intake, Greddy FMIC kit, 3" downpipe back exhaust, running 10psi.
That track day was pretty hot, but I ran straight water into the radiator, with a bottle of Redline Water Wetter, and I think the highest temp I saw was like 205° F.

Have not had a problem so far, haven't seen the temperature get above 200. However I have a only a 6" tall intercooler and I'm only at 11 psi. Still running the stock radiator though. A hot tanked and clean block helps too.
My oil temps got out of control at 1 bar, so I put on an oil cooler. Now it runs super cool. About 195 deg F max water, 205 deg F oil. Before it was hitting about 205 deg F water and 245-250 deg F oil with the heater on and me backing off a bit to keep things cool.
I have an SR and an aluminum Koyo.
