I just wired a plastic bottle near the bottom of my grill to catch any overflow, I can pour it back in the radiator if necessary. My car like your runs cool and only pushes out coolant at higher speeds. My level normally runs below the top of the tubes, if I fill to top of tubes, coolant is being pushed out at lower speeds, and the car does not run any cooler with that extra coolant.
Not sure this is the fix to Bullsharks' issues but Skip Haney sells the pressure valve setup.
