Knowing the car topped out at 2xx is great, but in what amount of time be a huge variable to compare OEM v CSF v 3 pass CSF. Also was it a quick jump up to 2xx and then a constant temp throughout the entire track session or was it a gradual increase. Additionally, what are your fan speed settings at OEM/CSF/3 pass CSF which can alter the cooling temps.

A lot of variables to consider which are not mentioned in your article.
you're right, i dont have excel spread sheets for it, I tried to give a idea of how the heat increase behaved through out the session, but i see you want more detail.

i can assure you it was a gradual increase with the triple pass, the single pass liked to jump up quickly and over all couldnt keep the car as cool in less time.

Fan speeds are OEM since the beginning.

yes i have no hood pins, but the Seibon uses the 3 latches like thedreamer mentioned

Have plenty of results of OEM v CSF (or Mishi) radiator, but this is new so considering all variables to ensure a fair comparison and not just some marketing fluff that it works better.
My testing isnt marketing fluff, im another 370 owner and track guy like alot of others here. Ive been working with CSF in testing and developing this radiator and i wouldn't have signed off on it working correctly if it wasnt right. Im more then happy to try and answer your in depth questions as best I can, but just want to be clear that im not blowing smoke about this product, it really works well.
