It seems like cooling with the stock radiator is fine for you MT cars. For AT/DCT cars, part of the radiator is used to cool the transmission as well. Maybe the CSF radiator has a bigger impact for AT/DCT cars? I haven't tested my car on track yet to see what my coolant/DCT temps look like and unfortunately, i dont have any stock coolant numbers to compare with. But my oil temps were in the 280 range, stock ppk tune. So i guess if i am back at buttonwillow in similar conditions and my oil temps are better controlled maybe the radiator is an improvement?

Next track event should be a 1/2 mile event in october, a different kind of strain on the HW, but a strain nonetheless. I will be running max power possible for my car on PS2 (probably 19ish psi) and logging with MHD. Will share any data i get.
