This thread will end in the same debate as that one. Air flow vs fan running constantly. Misinformation and no progress HAHA

Biggest radiator you can fit, block off anywhere the air can get around the radiator to direct it through the radiator. If your running a HUGE FMIC ducting might be nessesary from under the car toward the front of the rad if temps are an issue. NO ebay or cheap fans always run a Zirgo or Spal fan for best quality and highest flow. Shrouds are useless unless its a real shroud and not just a cake pan style shroud. its best to squeeze a larger fan on there and let that act as the shroud than a smaller fan with an improper shroud setup.

half core mishimoto with oem thermostat and a 14" spal or zirgo will give excellent cooling. i ran this in my DC with a/c and it worked great here in Texas. I am now currently running a performance VW Scirocco radiator in my car and a/c is long gone. stays under 200 degrees at the track whooping on it and idling

What you said about the mishimoto rad and 14" fan is the type of info I was talking about..
Thanks
