Radiator: CSF or Mishimoto?

I'm convinced this would solve everyone's problems.

I tell a lot of the 370Z drivers I see at the track this same thing, and we've seeing up to ~10 degree drops in temps with vehicles with vented hoods. Exit airflow is key in a proper cooling system.

On another note, I'm currently sitting at my factory, and I'm discussing with my egineers several ways to make our unit even better. Perks of manufacturing your own product

We'll be testing our current unit against our new innovative design through MotoIQ.com.. Stay tuned for results...

Curious to see the new design, and been doing data logging myself as I am adding a vented hood soon.
OEM Hood v Seibon TS Testing

Plenty more data coming, been stuck as excel is running into data limits and such.

The issue I am having is we have excel 2007 (plenty of rows/columns) but when trying to graph the data points it limits me to 30k points. We are in talks to upgrade the office to office 2013 which "should" solve this problem.
