50mm to 60mm core radiator on 480 bhp cos ?
got a 50mm core radiator at the moment just checked peak temp on secs from a 180 mph run and it was 93c. does anyone know how much of a benefit will be gained from a 60mm pro alloy rad.

I'm sure the 93degc peak recall was not during the run itself... it will of been a few moments after the run when heat soak is at it worst.

I set my fans to come in at 98C and go off at 94C if that helps, no problems using a airtech alloy rad(60mm).
