Overheating an engine due to cooling system problems happens very quickly and can easily cause catastrophic damage. Cooling systems are designed for a specific maximum pressurization and boiling point. Changing the pressure release max of the cap is an unnecessary risk. Changing the specified mix of 50/50 coolant is also a risk. I suggest checking the components about every 10,000 miles and a PM interval of 75,000 to 100,000 miles using OE or OEM parts.
