    not sure exactly how much those help since they like 12"x10"x1" in size
    I've been thinking of this. Watch for the new thread.

    I have had my aux rads removed on both of my cars.

    Have had ZERO cooling issues, even out of hot summer track days at High Plains Raceway.

    And I have datalogged intake temps were a few degrees lower, even before Apikol intercoolers were added

    Did you replace the rear shrouds that come off the aux rads?

    Did you take out all of the pumping and re-plumb, or just put a bypass tube in the aux radiator locations?

    Yes I reinstalled shrouds back on there.

    i think they are essential to cooling properly. It has been proven many times with oil coolers that shrouding both sides with drastically help efficiency of coolers

    I took out all of the plumbing

    On the pass side you can connect a hose between the two ports where they are "t'ed" off the two pipes
