Don't have the tools/time. I'm living between two apartments, and most of my tools have been lost, stolen, or given away through the moves.

im sure it depends on the type of track, oil used, and how much power you are making, but from other comments I've seen the 19 row was still able to get into the 240's on a hot track day. Also if you are considering going FI in the future it's even more of a reason to go with a larger cooler now.

FWIW I have the 25 row Z1 kit, its a great kit but my only compliant would be using lines that are maybe a bit thicker than necessary, makes it difficult to route the lines but once it's in it's fine.
