Lol, i was fully expecting a reply along those lines (hence why i had already explained why a copper rad Should be better)......they are just MY findings and whilst i can't fault your logic they are what i've found through practical experience so i can't agree with you on the subject. Unless you think temps over 100 degrees are neccesary for an rst to run at its optimum?

From what i can gather you're saying the alloy rad will take longer to warm up (fair point) but why you think i rag my car when it's not up to temp i don't know so i won't be raggin it when the water is not at its optimum.....and you then go on to say it won't get rid of the heat like a copper radiator, which again I have not found to be the case.
