Yes to both, you can also go with performance aftermarket radiator.
A good mechanic will cure the overheating problem with dual fans and other devices, but my Crossfire is an SRT6, supercharged with an extra waterpump from the factory to support the intercooler so there is NO overheating.
The SRT6 engine was shipped for all SRT6s to Karmann, Germany for balancing and blueprinting by the Mercedes engineers, who disassembled all SRT6 engines, increasing h.p. output to 331 h.p. With a good ECU tune, the 3.2 L SRT6 will push 400 h.p. and create a 12 second 1/4 mile e.t. and over 100 mph. They have beat Z06s before the newest ones were built.
