I had one of the first CSF rads and monitored temps, I believe I saw about a 10 degree drop under heavy street use. I would easily on a daily basis break past 210 and now I am just under or over 200 depending on the weather & driving.
I will hit 210+ if I am sitting for a long time or in horrible traffic but the past year I have avoided it mostly with some changes in my routes I go home.

Actually it is better than that: CSF Radiator: Reviews
I use to hit 220-240 and now I see 200-205.

so have you taken it to the track? if so how hot did that get?.... people keep telling me if i want FI and to track i will need low boost supercharger set up but id much rather be above 450+wtq which i haven't seen superchargers reach without a lotta meth and good conditions

so i have have to bump up to the GTM 70mm rad kit...... but then id have to worry about over cooling and getting up to operating temps... oh and i turbo the plan will most likely be a second smaller oil cooler

I have not had a chance to track with CSF+SC, school is my life along with working full time.
Plus even with the CSF radiator I can bet with FI I will need something "extra" which I am looking into. My plans are venting the front fender liners to allow air to flow through so no hot air stays stagnant, maybe bumping up my oil cooler size (currently at a 25 row), adding the greddy oil pan and from that seeing how well I do.

Another idea someone sent me was taking the Stillen brake duct kit and instead of point it at the brakes using it to bump air directly onto the oil cooler or something.
