Replacing the radiator seems to make the most sense to me. Let me know if you feel otherwise.

Well...Ultimately the Thermostat will regulate the engine water temp. A larger more efficient radiator will just cause the thermostat to close down to maintain its setting of roughly 180 degrees. In normal day to day driving I would expect no difference...

That said, under racing conditions where the Radiator may near it's upper limit of cooling, an uprated radiator will help by raising the (water) cooling overhead though no one has mentioned this as an issue to date

So when all is said and done, there is a market for this part albeit a small one. Track cars and FI turbo'd cars being the target I would guess.

Oil cooling is a whole separate issue and should be addressed with it's own cooler. Oil temps reported here seem to vary more by usage, then by engine water or ambient air temps
