It was merely suggested that the radiator was sufficient based on the fact that other Hurricane guys are running and "managing" big blocks with it. I think a few struggle to keep theirs cool. I don't think we have yet to prove that its anywhere near sufficient. Its only a 2-row, while most others are 3 including the CSX cars. I do plan on rechecking a number of temp points with an IR gun ASAP but at this point, I am arriving at the opinion that the radiator is not sufficient.

I have ordered the restrictor kit and plan to try it before anything drastic like a $500 radiator.
