We used a Koyo Thick rad on both brent's car and my car. Jose's NA car is running the slim Koyo, so we'll have some track testing results from both.
We arent putting any Forged stickers on the shroud, so probably a 5whp drop.

OK, here are the results from road Atlanta, used Jose's NA Z as a reference. 95F outside temps, he used to see 220F quickly (within 3-4 laps), and now his MAX temp seen was 200F, and it was only the last couple laps of his session. His oil temps also went from 280F down to about 250F. And within one cool down lap, temps were sub 190F, and by the time he pulled into the pits, he was looking at 170F. Pretty good results I think. Jose was pushing it pretty hard, and we timed him at 1:43 with a passenger in the car.
I didnt have a coolant temp gauge on my car, but the car definately ran much cooler, as the needle didnt move much at all.

Yet surprising because I was expecting that fans, together with road track speed airflow, wont make much difference.
Would these shrouded fans then be better cooling mod than oil cooler? Thanks
