Do you own a killer chiller ? If not you opinion doesn't mean anything it's just speculation and incorrect. Saying it's junk In a hot climate is just plain silly. You even said it might beat up to ambient. Well what do you think the water temps do in the best heat exchanger money can buy after a pull ? You are lucky to be cruising around with 20 degrees over ambient and I bet the water ends up 50 degrees over after a long pull. That is a night and day difference over a chilled setup yet you keep saying its junk lol. Iats with a chiller can be 50 degrees BELLOW ambient when cruising. There is no comparison here. Only way you will get any heat exchanger to cool this well is if you put ice in it constantly.
Would methonal help sure it would. The best combo for ultimate cooling would be chiller and methonal. Even then unless you are doing a lot of huge pulls back to back the meth isn't needed. Regular daily driving chiller works fantastically well. Plus you don't have to buy or fill anything once installed it just works.
As far as ac goes. Works as crappy as it did before the chiller as far as I could tell. Cools my car fine on a 105 degree day.

You definitely need the 90mm. Get a hold of me if you can't find someone worthwhile to do the work, as it's more complicated than it seems. I have an extra Weistec elbow that I can mod first, then you can send me back the old one. That 82mm is costing you at least 50hp on a powerplant that is moving the amount of air that you are.
Here's the one I just made for Ahmad you can show the pics to the local fabricator.
