car heats up at high speeds what can i do to stop this

i have a 500hp 383 with th350 behind it right now im running factory gears so im not winding this thing up i went about 350 miles across florida with this thing and everytime i would hit above 3500 rpms (75mph) this thing would start heating up so this was a real problem i have replaced the air dams baffles and all that stuff any suggestions im thinking a bigger fan may help this problem what do you guys think
thanks russ

From: out of my mind; be back in 5 minutes....

Car: 1989 Firebird Formula

Engine: Internal Combustion

Transmission: Completed

Axle/Gears: ones that turn.

A bigger fan won't help anything at speed; there should be enough airflow at 75 to have the fan turning at a good clip all on it's own.
Are you using a stock rad? What temp is the thermostat?
