Call me old fashioned, but I always use distilled water when I change out my
freeze to minimize corrosion... Is this necessary anymore?

Depending on where you live determines the ratio
you want to use. If it is really cold, even 50/50 is usually still
sufficient. If not, 60/40 or 70/30 will help to keep the temp down. Anti
freeze doesn't work as well as a cooling agent as water, so the more water,
the cooler it will run. If you are still having overheating problems, try
water wetter by redline. The stuff is unbelievable. It isn't like water in
that the more you use the better you are. One bottle to your system is
sufficient. One of my cars is an intercooled turbo and water wetter dropped
my avg temp by almost 20 degrees.
