Air intake temp has nothing to do with the radiator...but temps get up to 100 in chicago and very humid as well in the summer and with stock radiator and heavy tracking I never got engine temps even close to the 3/4 mark. I can understand if you have a boosted car engine temps might get a lot hotter than NA and so thats a diff situation. Im just saying as far as NA goes, I cant see why a different radiator is necessary at all.
