I know some guys put in new radiators to lose weight up front where it counts (we are nose heavy and our stock radiator is very heavy apparently). people also swap out for lighter batteries. (moving them back adds cable weight and is a wash on weight.)

But you are right a new radiator will not help oil temps at all, just water temps which I do not believe to be problematic in the 370. We all need oil coolers to avoid 'limp mode" for serious driving. (especially up here in the thin air which provides less convective cooling)

p.s. I hope I don't come off sounding like I think I know anything about our cars or racing, I'm just a forum troll when I get bored.
