It's been 3 weeks since installing the Mountune radiator and man oh man it's been amazing. Tested it with a couple hard canyon runs (still with heater blowing) and it made so much difference. But I didn't realize just how much difference it was until I took it to the track (Streets of Willow Springs) last Friday for an afternoon-evenign session. Was 103° during the first 3 hours of the event, and although there were a couple times the factory temp gauge showed it being maxed out in the acceptable range, I backed off for a lap or so, temps dropped then I'd get another 10 or so full strength laps before having to do it again. Compared to the stock system which another FiST owner on site said he only gets MAX of 2 hot laps before the car goes into limp mode. I also had bought some Hawk 5.0 performance street brake pads that I planned to use on the track, but never got around to installing, and I was extremely impressed by the braking performance of the stock units.
